New Bilingual Guide on Pregnant Women’s Civil Rights

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson released flyers in English and Spanish to explain the accommodations an employer must provide under a law passed in 2017 for employers with 15 or more employees. This law supports working women’s healthy pregnancies. The flyer outlines what pregnancy accommodation laws are, the rights that pregnant employees have in the workplace, which practices are prohibited for employers and how pregnant employees can report pregnancy accommodation violations. Approved legislation last year made changes that employers and employees may not be familiar with.
