The Pregnant Workers’ Fairness Act goes into effect on April 1 and the Pay Equity Act goes into effect on July 1. Both will have a significant impact on employers in Massachusetts. Join us for lunch on February 14 for a discussion of the most significant provisions and our recommendations for implementation.

Topics include:

Pregnancy Accommodations

  • Protected class
  • Interactive process and reasonable accommodation
  • Accommodations for nursing mothers
  • Notice requirements

Pay Equity

  • Federal v. new Massachusetts law requirements
  • Comparable work
  • Exceptions to equal pay requirements
  • Inquiry into salary history
  • Pay transparency
  • Self-audit as an affirmative defense

This program will be presented by Suzanne King, Pierce Atwood employment partner. We are pleased to offer the same program in two locations -- Boston, MA and Portsmouth, NH.
