FAQ
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) became effective on June 27, 2023. This federal law aims to protect the rights of pregnant employees by requiring employers to provide accommodations for known limitations resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions.
You have the right to up to 52 weeks' maternity leave if you're having a baby and are legally classed as an employee. You have this right from your first day of starting a job. By law, you must take at least 2 weeks off after your baby is born (4 weeks if you work in a factory).
Maternity disability and unemployment benefits are incompatible. To get unemployment benefits, someone has to be ``ready, willing and able'' to work if a job is offered. Your claim of disability would contradict all three of those conditions, and you can't contradict even one and still get unemployment benefits.

As of June 27, 2023, most Ohio employers are required to provide pregnancy accommodations under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). Pregnancy discrimination is against the law.The EEOC enforces three federal laws that protect job applicants and employees who are pregnant. These laws collectively ensure that pregnant employees cannot be discriminated against or fired simply for being pregnant. There are no legal deadlines for telling your employer you are pregnant. Employers with 15 or more employees cannot reject applicants because they are pregnant. If you work for an employer that has 50 or more employees in a 75-mile radius, you are also eligible for FMLA leave during and after your pregnancy. If you are pregnant or recently gave birth, you may require certain changes to your work environment in order to carry out your job-related tasks. The law stated only that pregnant workers should be treated the same as other employees, not that they deserved special consideration. FMLA gives you the right to take time off work, but your employer doesn't have to pay you while you are on leave.
