Fortifying Florida Employers Against ADA, FMLA And Pregnancy Challenges

Last updated on March 12, 2024

At Brick Business Law, P.A., we uphold the rights of employers across Florida in a variety of industries. Our employment law attorneys understand the complexities of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) as they apply to Florida’s workers and employers.

We guide employers through the intricacies of these laws to ensure compliance and protect their businesses from potential liability. Our approach is to empower you with the knowledge and strategies necessary to manage leaves of absence and reasonable accommodations effectively.

Cohesive Counsel Regarding The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) became law in 2023. The PWFA covers several critical rights for pregnant employees. Because it is so recent, many employers have found themselves unsure of how the measures apply to them and their workers. For example, under the PWFA, employers must now accommodate conditions such as:

  • Morning sickness
  • Postpartum depression
  • Mastitis
  • Fertility treatments
  • Pregnancy loss

Our employment lawyers stay abreast of the ever-changing developments in the world of employment law, including the PWFA. We can illuminate your duties under the PWFA, ensuring that your internal protocols are current and robust.

Proactive Compliance And Liability Prevention

We believe in proactive measures to avoid disputes and exposure to liability. Our counsel helps you understand your obligations under the ADA, FMLA and pregnancy-related laws, ensuring that your policies and practices are up to date and enforceable.

When it comes to leaves of absence, we provide clear advice on how to approach them in a way that respects employees’ rights while safeguarding your business interests. For reasonable accommodations, we help you navigate the sometimes fine line between providing what is necessary and maintaining operational efficiency. Our aim is to create a balance that respects employees’ needs and protects your business from undue hardship.
