HR Hotline Live: Pregnancy in the Workplace

Navigating federal and state pregnancy laws can be complex.  

From the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the ADA to Connecticut’s protections for pregnant and lactating employees and new parents, compliance is essential. Missteps can lead to costly discrimination claims and legal compliance is only part of the equation. 

This interactive session goes beyond what the law requires to focus on how to implement policies that both protect your business and support employees. 

Topics include: 

• Required workplace accommodations 
• Aligning maternity policies with Connecticut’s Paid Family Leave program 
• When pregnancy-related conditions are considered disabilities 
• Common compliance mistakes that lead to discrimination claims 
• Communicating with employees during and after pregnancy 

Participants can submit questions throughout the session for live expert responses and discussion.
