Three key federal laws protect job applicants and employees who are pregnant: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the coverage and protections available under each law, including how they intersect and where employers most often face compliance challenges.
