Effective October 1, 2015, the Protecting Pregnant Workers Fairness Act of 2014 (PPW) requires District of Columbia employers to provide reasonable workplace accommodations for employees whose ability to perform job duties is limited because of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or a related medical condition. Individuals who believe they were denied a reasonable accommodation or treated unfairly in violation of PPW will be able to file a complaint with the DC Office of Human Rights (OHR). If a violation is found, employers may be required to provide monetary or other relief to the employee.
At this free training for business owners, hiring managers, supervisors, and HR staff, OHR staff will explain the requirements of the Protecting Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and OHR's enforcement process and answer questions from attendees.
RSVP is required. Please be advised that food and drink (besides water) are not allowed in the Old Council Chamber. To request a reasonable accommodation or interpretation, please email [email protected] or call (202) 727-5343 before Nov 25th.
