Option Care Health, Inc., a nationwide provider of infusion-therapy services, violated federal law when it failed to provide an employee with a reasonable accommodation for symptoms related to her pregnancy in June and July of 2023, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit announced. According to the EEOC’s suit, an infusion nurse based in New Hampshire, whose job involved visiting patients at their homes and virtually, requested a temporary limit on her assignments to patients closer to her home and/or to virtual visits as an accommodation for her pregnancy symptoms. Option Care allegedly refused to provide her an accommodation, which ultimately resulted in the employee’s forced resignation. Such alleged conduct violates the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), which requires employers, absent undue hardship, to provide reasonable accommodations for known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions and prohibits punishing an employee for asking about or using such accommodations.
