Description

This webinar for legal aid attorneys will provide a practical overview of the wide range of legal protections that ensure working people are able to continue earning an income when they are pregnant, postpartum, and caring for loved ones, including:

– Paid family and medical leave

– Reasonable accommodations for pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation

– Accommodation for family caregiving, and

– Anti-discrimination protections Legal aid attorneys will leave the webinar prepared to identify legal rights their clients have in this complicated area of law and equipped with resources they can share with clients in need of additional support, such as WorkLife Law’s free legal helpline.
