Course Description
The fifth session in FELTG’s annual Reasonable Accommodation webinar series focuses on a law that went into effect in 2023: the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), which requires agencies to provide reasonable accommodations to employees who are pregnant or have medical restrictions related to pregnancy or childbirth.
In this 60-minute webinar, you will learn answers to the following questions: What are your responsibilities under the PWFA? What are some examples of PWFA reasonable accommodations? What is the best way to prepare for the interactive process when discussing accommodations for pregnancy?
Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify potential accommodations for pregnant employees.
- Determine an appropriate length of time for a pregnancy-related accommodation.
- Understand how the EEOC will analyze charges regarding accommodations for
employees affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

Course Description
FELTG’s annual Reasonable Accommodation webinar series comes to a close with this 60-minute session on accommodations of the religious variety. There are significant distinctions between religious accommodations and those for individuals with disabilities and pregnancy. It’s important for you to understand those differences. A recent Supreme Court decision changed the undue hardship standard for religious accommodations, on the heels of increases in employee requests for accommodations for religion.
This 60-minute webinar will provide guidance as you handle accommodation requests involving religious clothing and headwear, grooming, religious displays in the workplace, and work schedules, among other things.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Define the term “undue hardship” and provide case examples.
- Determine whether the agency can provide an effective religious accommodation.
- Handle requests to be excused from performing certain job tasks because of religious
reasons.
