Pregnant Workers Fairness Act - What You Need to Know

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), which President Biden signed on December 29, 2022, requires companies with at least 15 employees to provide reasonable accommodations to a worker’s limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions. The new law builds upon existing protections against pregnancy discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and went into effect on July 27. 

The PWFA works together with the new PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act (PUMP Act), which expanded the universe of workers who have the right to break time and a private space to express breast milk at work.
