A breakdown of the new regulations reporting requirements for reporting entities.
Post provides informative content about MD Workplace Violence Act, and Hairston Law's thoughts on the Act's potential to impose a legal duty on employers.
On December 30, 2022, President Biden signed Pregnant Workers Fairness Act ("PWFA") into law and it goes into effect on June 27, 2023. The new law requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to a worker's known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodations will cause the employer an "undue hardship". This new law will not replace existing federal, state, or local laws that are more protective of workers affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. But it will fill in the gaps when existing law does not address certain situations. Because Maryland already have law that requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy or childbirth, this Blog will compare Maryland's law to the new PWFA so you can be aware of when and what accommodations you are required to provide to your employees. Happy Reading ☺️
