Navigating an employee’s leave and accommodation requests can feel like untangling a web of legal requirements. Join us to discuss the intersection between the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), and their state law counterparts. While these laws have distinct requirements, they often overlap, creating challenges for employers. We will discuss the essentials of these laws, highlight their interactions, and offer strategies to avoid compliance pitfalls. We will also discuss other protections for nursing employees, including the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act.
