The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) expects to issue final regulations implementing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) by the end of 2023, according to the agency's latest regulatory agenda.
As mandated by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, all employers must provide notice of pregnancy and lactation accommodation rights upon hire and when an employee inquires about or requests parental leave.
The EEOC has unveiled proposed regulations to implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, a landmark federal law expanding employees' rights to obtain reasonable accommodations at work for pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions.
