AZ SB1401

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

Reasonable accommodations include equipment modification, frequent breaks, restroom/food/water access, 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 conspicuous notice of these requirements and include the information in employee handbooks.

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