Bill > S4431

This bill, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, aims to eliminate discrimination and promote women's health and economic security by ensuring reasonable workplace accommodations for workers whose ability to perform their job functions is limited by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. The key provisions include requiring covered entities (employers with 15 or more employees, certain government entities, etc.) to provide reasonable accommodations for known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship. The bill also prohibits covered entities from denying employment opportunities, requiring leave, or taking adverse action against qualified employees who request or use a reasonable accommodation. The bill outlines the remedies and enforcement procedures, including the powers, remedies, and procedures available under existing civil rights laws. It also requires the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to issue regulations to implement the Act.
