Updated statement to reflect amendments requiring an employer to maintain employee health care coverage during a leave of absence taken as a pregnancy accommodation, effective August 1, 2024.
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.
By addressing compliance challenges proactively, even when legal obligations are uncertain, employers can discover opportunities to create strategic advantages.
