Effective June 3, 2014, employers must make reasonable accommodations (unless they would impose an undue hardship on the business) to the known limitations related to the pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions of a job applicant or employee, given documentation from the individual's health care provider specifying those limitations and suggesting accommodations to address them. Employers may not require an employee to take leave under any leave law or company policy if another reasonable accommodation can be provided.
