Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act - Jackson Lewis

Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

The PWFA adopts the same meaning of “reasonable accommodation” and “undue hardship” as used in the ADA, including the interactive process that will typically be used to determine an appropriate reasonable accommodation.

The PWFA applies to employers with at least 15 employees and becomes effective on June 27, 2023.

PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act
