This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), discussing its implications, scope, and the responsibilities of employers. The hosts emphasize the misleading nature of the act's name, the importance of understanding its broad coverage beyond just pregnant workers, and the necessity for employers to be aware of their obligations under the law. They also highlight the role of the EEOC in providing guidance and enforcing the act, as well as the differences between the PWFA and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The discussion includes practical advice for employers on accommodating employees and ensuring compliance with the PWFA.
