AZ SB1534

Requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees unless doing so would impose undue hardship on the business.

Reasonable accommodations include equipment modification, frequent breaks, restroom/food/water breaks, assistance with manual labor, private breastfeeding areas, modified work schedules, and scheduling flexibility for prenatal appointments.

Employers cannot require pregnant employees to use annual, vacation, or sick leave if a reasonable accommodation can be provided instead.

Employers must post notice of accommodation requirements conspicuously and include the information in employee handbooks.

Employers must provide written notice of requirements to newly hired employees at time of hire, current employees within 180 days of the law's effective date, and pregnant employees within 10 days of informing their employer of pregnancy.
