On this episode, we discuss the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 and two important laws included in that act.
On December 29, 2022, President Biden signed this Act into law, which in addition to addressing government funding, included two laws that provide greater protections for pregnant and nursing employees in the workplace: The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, or the PWFA, and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act, or the PUMP Act.
Today’s discussion will focus on how these new federal laws expand protections for pregnant and nursing employees, and how employers can adapt and implement policies and procedures in response to these changes.
