Future Ready Greensboro: Need to Know - New Laws about Accommodations in the Workplace

Description

Action Greensboro and Family Forward NC are partnering to increase the number of greater Greensboro employers who provide family-friendly workplace benefits and become Family Forward NC Certified Employers. We can help you become certified as a family-friendly workplace.

Family-friendly workplace policies take shape in many different ways.  One measure, following newly enacted federal laws, involves accommodating pregnant and breastfeeding employees. These accommodations improve recruitment; increase retention productivity, diversity and improve the health of both mother and child. 

Join us for a free online webinar to learn more about workplace accommodations for parents and pregnant workers.  

Led by Greensboro employment lawyer, Alex Maultsby of Ramseur Maultsby, you’ll learn about: 

Pregnant worker accommodations, governed by the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and numerous state and local laws.

The PUMP Act, a new federal law requiring employers to accommodate breast-feeding employees. 

The interactive session will include time for participants to ask questions and to share with peers their own experiences with effective workplace policies for supporting families.

So, please, join us for this free session for a live discussion about easy, and often low-cost, ways to improve employee satisfaction and retention–while being sure to satisfy workplace accommodation laws.
