This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis P.C. discusses a new District of Columbia law that gives pregnant employees the right to reasonable accommodations and imposes on employers posting and notice requirements. The Protecting Pregnant Workers Fairness Act of 2014 (PPWFA) is expected to take effect in early January, after a 30-day congressional review period and publication in the District of Columbia Register. Although pregnancy-related medical conditions are covered by other federal laws, the PPWFA affirmatively provides for accommodation of pregnant workers. The PPWFA covers all employers in the District of Columbia, regardless of size.
