In late 2022, Congress passed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (“PWFA”), which expands federal protections for pregnant employees and applicants by requiring covered employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” for an employee’s known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. The PWFA echoes the protections already provided by the New York State and New York City Human Rights laws, so further action may be unnecessary for many New York employers. The PWFA is set to go into effect on June 27, 2023.
