About This Course

Think you know your legal obligations for handling a pregnant employee? Think again. The rules are changing rapidly, making it hard to keep up. This CLE course will address key questions, including whether you need to accommodate a pregnant employee since normal pregnancy isn't a "disability" under ADA/ADAAA.

We'll explore what laws apply when an employee requests more frequent breaks due to pregnancy, your obligations under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, and state and municipal laws mandating reasonable accommodations. Learn about EEOC guidelines for pregnancy-related conditions like gestational diabetes and hypertension.

After childbirth, what laws protect nursing mothers? Discover your obligations under the PUMP Act and additional state and local regulations. Familiarize yourself with NYC's Model Lactation Accommodation Policies and Request Forms. Understand your responsibilities for providing lactation accommodations, including a dedicated lactation room and break time for expressing breast milk.

Finally, determine if you need a written lactation policy compliant with these new laws, and see a sample draft policy.
