The Connecticut Commission on Human Rights & Opportunities (CHRO) issued a Best Practices “Bluepaper” to help employers understand their role in accommodating employees impacted by pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions. The Bluepaper reiterates the standards set out by the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act (CFPA); more importantly, it further clarifies or directs employers on how to handle specific situations under the law.
