Bill > H3680

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which amends the state's anti-discrimination law to prohibit employers from denying reasonable accommodations for employees' pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions, including lactation or the need to express breast milk. The bill outlines specific types of reasonable accommodations that must be provided, such as more frequent breaks, transfer to a less strenuous position, and private non-bathroom spaces for expressing breast milk. Employers must engage in a good-faith interactive process with employees to determine effective accommodations, and can only deny accommodations if they can demonstrate undue hardship. The bill also requires employers to provide written notice to employees of their rights under this law.
