Frequently Asked Questions About Employer Compliance
Common violations include refusing reasonable accommodations, retaliating against employees who request accommodations, failing to provide equal treatment, and not having compliant leave policies. Many employers also make discriminatory comments or decisions based on assumptions about pregnant employees' capabilities.
The PWFA requires employers with 15+ employees to provide reasonable accommodations for known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless it causes undue hardship. This includes modifications to work duties, schedules, or workplace conditions.
Our initial employer consultation is free. Ongoing compliance services are customized based on your organization's size and needs. The cost is significantly less than defending a single discrimination lawsuit, which averages $200,000+ in legal fees alone.
While federal law applies to employers with 15+ employees, Human Rights Law covers employers with 4+ employees. Even smaller employers benefit from compliant policies to prevent costly litigation and create positive workplace culture.
