Compliance in Focus: Managing Accommodation Requests Under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the Expansive EEOC Regulations
Feb. 27, 2024
2-3 p.m. CT
While the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) became effective June 27, 2023, the deadline for the EEOC’s final regulations was months later in December 2023. As a result, employers were left to wonder how the EEOC would enforce and interpret the provisions of the PWFA. Join us as we discuss the final regulations including the following subjects:
- The physical and mental conditions covered by the PWFA;
- Requests for reasonable accommodations and the interactive process;
- Which reasonable accommodations are to be provided “in virtually all cases”;
- When the temporary elimination of essential job functions to accommodate an employee is required;
- The ability of an employer to request documentation to support a requested accommodation;
- The prohibited practices that employers must avoid; and more!
