A federal district court has vacated Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) regulations to the extent that they include abortion as a "related medical condition" of pregnancy and childbirth.
In the EEOC's first settlement under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, a Florida beachfront hotel and resort has agreed to pay $100,000 in damages and implement various measures to ensure compliance with the PWFA.
A final rule implementing the requirements of the PWFA will take effect on June 18, as scheduled, after one federal court dismissed a challenge by several states attorneys general. However, another court exempted two states from certain abortion-related regulations.
