Today, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) will take effect, expanding long-overdue protections to ensure that workers experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions have the right to reasonable accommodations in the workplace. The law was signed by President Joe Biden last year, and as it goes into effect today, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will begin accepting charges of discrimination under this new statute for incidents that Diversityoccurred on or after June 27, 2023.
Pregnant people are one of the 27 Diversity Types, and a protected class in 1 or more of the nations that make up the International Organization for Standards (ISO) and are therefore prioritized as we streamline the delivery of D&I Service Management across all organizational types based on ISO-30415.
