Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Effective October 1, 2017, employers with 15 or more employees need to provide a reasonable accommodation to a female employee or job applicant for a condition relating to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship to the business.
Accommodations could include the following:
- Modifying equipment,
- Providing different seating,
- Revising break schedules,
- • Providing space to express breast milk,
- Allowing for light duty,
- Temporarily transferring the employee,
- Restructuring a position, or
- Providing a modified work schedule.
This list is not all inclusive.
If you grant leave to your employees for sickness or disability because of a medical condition, you are to provide such leave for a condition relating to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition.
When an employee requests an accommodation, you are to engage in an interactive process to determine a reasonable accommodation. You may require an employee to provide an explanatory statement from her doctor concerning a suggested accommodation.
Effective June 2, 2017, employers are to provide notice to employees regarding their rights. This notice is to be given to new employees, to an employee within 10 days of her indicating that she is pregnant, and the notice is to be posted.
