SB 253 had an effective date upon approval, in part (employer providing written notice to existing employees) , and in full on October 1, 2017 , and aligns Nevada law with federal r equirements . The Nevada Pregn ant Workers’ Fairness Act applies to employers with more than 15 employees . This includes state and local g overnments, but may not include some employers , such as those on Indian reservations and employers who prove undue ha rdship as defined by SB 253 . Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees (and applicants for employment ) for a condition relating to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition , unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the business of the employer. Lactation , or the need to express breast milk for a nursing child , is defined as a related medical condition. Pregnant women are protected from termination due to refusal of their employer to provide a rea sonable accommodation . To prove undue hardship, the employer must demonstrate the accommodation is significantly difficult to provide or expensive considering without limitation the nature and cost of the accommodation; overall financial resources of the employer, the overall size of the business with respect to the number of employees, type and location of the available facilities, and the effect of the accommodation on the operations of the employer. The Nevada Pregnant Workers’ Fairness Act m akes it u nlawful to refuse a reasonable accommodation request from an employee or applicant for employment . Employers may not take adverse employment acti on because of a request for or use of a reasonable accommodation, including refusing to promote or reinstate, or forcing employee to transfer, or other undesired actions relating to employment terms or condition.
