Why the PWFA is Different
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) expands protections beyond what the ADA or Title VII cover. It requires:
-
Broader Scope Beyond Disabilities: Protects conditions like morning sickness, lactation, and childbirth-related needs—even if they don’t qualify as disabilities under the ADA.
-
Proactive Reasonable Accommodations: Employers must engage in an interactive process for even temporary conditions.
-
Temporary Excusal from Essential Functions: Employees can be excused from key duties if they’ll resume them “in the near future.”
-
Prohibition on Retaliation and Forced Leave: Employers cannot force leave if reasonable accommodations are available.
-
Coverage for Pregnancy-Related Conditions: Includes postpartum depression, infertility treatments, menopause, and other reproductive health issues.

Training Supervisors on the PWFA Is Crucial & Consequences of Noncompliance
-
Prevent Legal Violations
Misunderstandings can lead to costly lawsuits or EEOC investigations.
-
Unique Accommodations Require Judgment
Supervisors must handle individualized requests (e.g., schedule changes, lactation breaks).
-
Avoiding Bias and Retaliation
Proper training ensures fair treatment of pregnant workers and compliance with PWFA requirements.
-
Build Trust and Retention
Supportive workplaces improve morale and reduce turnover.
-
Consequences of Noncompliance
- Financial Costs: Litigation can range from $50,000–$200,000; settlements may hit six figures.
- Reputational Damage: Discrimination claims harm employer branding and recruitment.
- Compliance Risks: Failure to recognize PWFA-covered conditions can trigger legal claims.
