About This Course:
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) mandates reasonable accommodations to known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

This law requires that employers grant pregnant workers reasonable accommodations - temporary job changes needed to maintain a healthy pregnancy and, in some situations, to help an employee recover from or deal with post-pregnancy related medical conditions - unless doing so would impose an undue hardship.

Though the PWFA has some similarities to the ADA, there are many distinct differences. For instance:

Did You Know / Some Of The Things You Will Learn:
  • A person other than an employee could be covered under the PWFA
  • Employers can be liable for PWFA violations if a supervisor mishandles a pregnancy accommodation request
  • Entities other than the "qualified individual" may make accommodation requests on behalf of the pregnant worker
  • Employers cannot use their "ADA Reasonable Accommodation" forms for PWFA
  • To properly administer the PWFA, employers must understand the key concept of "known limitation" and what physical and mental conditions could be involved
  • Which laws - the FMLA, ADA, or PWFA - take precedence
  • Employers may not require a qualified employee affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions to accept an accommodation other than any reasonable accommodation arrived at through the interactive process
  • The restrictions on employers seeking supporting medical documentation
Covered Topics:

In addition to the list above, some key areas - and potential problems - for PWFA administration include:
  • Who is covered under the law (Hint: It's not just employees!)
  • Which people or entities can notify/request a reasonable accommodation
  • Needed precautions for your managers and supervisors
  • Specialized rules for reasonable accommodations
  • How to handle PWFA's interactive process requirements
  • Determining whether an accommodation is an undue hardship
  • Medical certification rules - very different from the ADA rules
  • Integration with FMLA, ADA, and other leave laws
  • Documentation and recordkeeping requirements
The course also includes a special section answering questions and solving issues employers may have with regard to their PWFA compliance requirements. For instance, how to handle or create:
  • Procedures for reducing liability from manager and supervisor errors
  • Lactation issues, such as not latching
  • Determining and communication your reasonable accommodation decisions
  • Suspected PWFA abuse
