You can still register here to join us today, April 19, 2024, at Noon ET. Along with my partner, Amy Epstein Gluck, I will discuss the final rule that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency tasked with enforcing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), released earlier this week.

Among the topics we’ll cover:

PWFA background
Key definitions and concepts
Reasonable accommodations
Breastfeeding, menstruation, and abortion
Interplay with other laws, like the FMLA and ADA, and state laws too
Safety risks and direct threats
And whatever else we can squeeze into one hour

We’ll also take the hypothetical questions you are asking for a friend — the ones that don’t create any attorney-client privilege between us and which we won’t answer by providing legal advice.

Grab one of the last remaining spots and register here to join us today.
