Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Part Deux-The Posting Requirement

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) was so much fun that we decided it deserved another blog post.  We have received lots of questions regarding the posting requirement related to the PWFA.  As you all know, the PWFA amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to provide express accommodation protections for pregnant employees.  Title VII includes a posting requirement for covered employers requiring them to post a notice describing the protections under the law.  As these protections now include the accommodation requirements set forth in the PWFA, covered employers are required to immediately update their workplace posters regarding Title VII’s protections.  An updated EEOC “Know Your Rights” poster is available from the EEOC website.  You can also obtain a copy of the updated poster found here.

For questions about the PWFA’s posting requirement or any other labor and employment law topic, please do not hesitate to contact the attorneys at Hoffman & Hlavac.  To stay updated on key labor and employment law developments that affect your workplace, be sure to subscribe to this blog and follow us on social media!
