Workplace accommodations for pregnancy have long been a challenging area of compliance, and clients may be taking this into account as they make a decision regarding their pregnancy.  The Americans with Disability Act does not consider pregnancy a covered disability, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act does not require accommodation beyond those offered to similarly situated employees. That gap prompted Congress to pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act in June cementing the right to workplace accommodations for pregnant workers. And beyond pregnancy, there are a plethora of conditions that may give rise to a request for a workplace accommodation.  

Join this webinar to learn the considerations in guiding a client who is facing challenges in continuing their employment in light of their pregnancy or how to respond to a request from a staff member who wishes to adjust how they perform their duties.
