Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Claims
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) is a federal law that requires a covered employer to provide a “reasonable accommodation” to a qualified employee’s or applicant’s known limitations related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions unless the accommodation causes the employer an “undue hardship.”
