WHAT ARE THE EMPLOYEE’S RIGHTS? NOVEMBER 2017 When employees request a reasonable accommodation pertaining to pregnancy, the employer should take time to work with the employee to fulfi ll the request. Ignoring a request, retaliating against, or fi ring the employee requesting a reasonable accommodation could expose the employer to damages and civil penalties. WHAT ARE THE EMPLOYER’S OBLIGATIONS? An employee with a pregnancy-related condition has a right to reasonable accom- modations in the workplace to perform her job. A pregnancy-related condition is one caused by pregnancy, childbirth, or a medical condition related to pregnancy or childbirth. The law applies to all Vermont workplaces and all pregnant employees. WHAT IS THE LAW? January 1, 2018 WHEN DOES IT BECOME EFFECTIVE? An employer may decline a reasonable accommodation if the accommodation would constitute an undue hardship.
