怀孕工人公平法

如欲根据《火博体育官网》申请居所，请提交一份 住宿申请表.

什么是怀孕工人公平法案?

的 怀孕工人公平法 (PWFA) is a federal law that requires covered employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” to a qualified worker’s known limitations related to pregnancy, 分娩, 或相关的医疗条件, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an “undue hardship.” An undue hardship is defined as causing significant difficulty or expense.

《火博体育》只适用于住宿设施. Existing laws that the EEOC enforces make it illegal to fire or otherwise discriminate against workers on the basis of pregnancy, 分娩, 或相关的医疗条件.

PWFA不能取代联邦政府, 状态, or local laws that are more protective of workers affected by pregnancy, 分娩, 或相关的医疗条件. More than 30 状态s and cities have laws that provide accommodations for pregnant workers.

谁受保?

员工s and applicants who have known limitations related to pregnancy, 分娩, 或相关的医疗条件.
