submitted 4 years ago by Pub. L. 117-328 to r/title-42-THE-PUBLIC-HEALTH-AND-WELFARE · 215 words · no verdicts yet
A covered entity generally must reasonably accommodate a qualified employee’s known pregnancy-related limitations. It may not force a different accommodation, deny opportunities, require leave when another accommodation works, or retaliate for requesting or using an accommodation.
It is an unlawful employment practice for a covered entity* to (1) fail to reasonably accommodate a qualified employee’s known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions unless the entity proves the accommodation would cause undue hardship* on the operation of the covered entity; (2) require the employee* to accept an accommodation other than a reasonable accommodation* reached through the interactive process in section 2000gg(7); (3) deny employment opportunities because the entity needs to provide such an accommodation; (4) require the employee to take paid or unpaid leave if another reasonable accommodation can be provided; or (5) take an adverse action in employment terms, conditions, or privileges because the employee requested or used a reasonable accommodation for those limitations.
It shall be an unlawful employment practice for a covered entity* to—
not make reasonable accommodations to the known limitations related to the pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions of a qualified employee*, unless such covered entity can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship* on the operation of the business of such covered entity;
require a qualified employee* affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions to accept an accommodation other than any reasonable accommodation* arrived at through the interactive process referred to in section 2000gg(7) of this title;
deny employment opportunities to a qualified employee if such denial is based on the need of the covered entity to make reasonable accommodations to the known limitations related to the pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions of the qualified employee;
require a qualified employee to take leave, whether paid or unpaid, if another reasonable accommodation can be provided to the known limitations related to the pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions of the qualified employee; or
take adverse action in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment against a qualified employee on account of the employee requesting or using a reasonable accommodation to the known limitations related to the pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions of the employee.
