Delaware - Employment Discrimination/ Pregnancy & Employment Discrimination/ Disability

Poster Effective Date:  November 2014

Overview

Delaware has added “Pregnancy Accommodation” verbiage to its required poster. The new language indicates the following:

“Delaware law requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees whose ability to work is limited by pregnancy, childbirth, lactation and related conditions. Further, Delaware law prohibits employers from denying pregnant job applicants a position based on the need for a workplace accommodation, making unnecessary changes to a pregnant employees job functions or requiring a pregnant employee to take paid or unpaid leave when a reasonable accommodation would permit the employee to continue working. An employer is not required to provide a pregnant employee with a workplace accommodation if the requested accommodation poses an undue hardship.”

Delaware has updated the Disability language under Discrimination. Notice previously stated that an employer for a disability action is defined as having “15 or more employees.” This has been updated to reflect an employer for a disability action is defined as having “4 or more employees.” This is a material substantive change and a new Delaware All-In-One poster is required. Please note that this change will not impact the Federal combined poster.
