The EEOC plans to finalize regulations to implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) in the coming days. Signed into law in December 2022, the PWFA requires employers to make reasonable changes to support worker limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions—unless the accommodation will cause the company an undue hardship. “The PWFA is seen by many as a key piece of legislation that many in Congress, and the White House, will likely tout as an accomplishment on the campaign trail in 2024—increasing the need for the EEOC to finalize its regulations,” said Andrew Gordon, a labor & employment partner with the law firm Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/inclusion-equity-diversity/eeoc-finalizing-priorities-2024
