Did you know that under the Pregnant Woman’s Fairness Act, there are a limited number of simple workplace accommodations that will, in virtually all cases, be found to be reasonable? The following accommodations would not impose an undue hardship to the employer and would never require documentation from a medical professional:
- Allowing an employee to carry or keep water nearby, and drink as needed,
- Allowing an employee to take additional restroom breaks as needed,
- Allowing an employee whose work requires standing to sit, and whose work requires sitting to stand, as needed, and
- Allowing an employee to take breaks to eat and drink as needed.
