The absence management world changed on June 27, 2023, when the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) went into effect. And it’s a game-changer. The law (H.R. 1065)1 was included in the 2022 year-end federal omnibus legislation. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released draft regulations on Aug. 11, and an open comment period for the public to submit comments to the proposed regulations ends on Oct. 11, 2023.
