Watch the full episode of Don't HR Alone for the full breakdown [https://zurl.co/2krgX]

The EEOC filed 11 religious discrimination lawsuits in 2025—including taking on Apple for failing to accommodate an employee’s Sabbath observance and pulling a $21 million settlement out of Columbia University.

Why the sudden crackdown? In Groff v. DeJoy, the Supreme Court unanimously (9-0) threw out 50 years of precedent.

The old standard where employers could deny requests over trivial "de minimis" costs is gone. Now, you must prove an accommodation causes a substantial burden.

You might think the current EEOC is backing off enforcement on religious accommodations; it's the opposite — the EEOC is MORE aggressive than it's been in a decade. 11 lawsuits in 2025. They sued Apple. They got a $21 million settlement from Columbia University. And in 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously raised the bar in Groff v. DeJoy, replacing the old "any inconvenience" standard with a much tougher one.

But "harder to deny" is not "impossible to deny." In this episode, Rhamy Alejeal explains the new Groff standard, the reliable situations where you can STILL say no, and the one mistake that gets employers sued.

Is pregnancy a disability under the ADA? No, but under the PWFA, even minor or episodic limitations are covered. Key differences every employer needs to know:

🩺 Broader Trigger: Unlike the ADA, the PWFA covers minor issues like morning sickness, swollen ankles, migraines, and prenatal appointments.

🛡️ Same Guardrails: While the bar to start a conversation is lower under the PWFA, your defenses (undue hardship, essential functions, interactive process) are borrowed straight from the ADA.

The PWFA makes it easier to start a dialogue without taking away your ability to say "no" to undue burdens.

Good HR does not slow leadership down.

It makes leadership easier.

Clear policies reduce second-guessing. Better onboarding reduces confusion. Manager coaching reduces escalations. Payroll structure reduces surprises. Documentation reduces risk. Performance systems reduce avoidance. Compliance guardrails reduce fear.

That is what Strategic HR is supposed to do.
People Processes builds HR systems that help leaders lead.

If HR makes leadership harder, the system needs work.

Stop ignoring your PWFA obligations on simple pregnancy accommodations!

If a pregnant employee asks for water, extra restroom breaks, a stool to sit on, or a quick snack break, you should NOT be asking for a doctor's note.

The EEOC calls these "predictable assessments," meaning they are almost never an undue hardship and should be granted immediately. Demanding medical proof for these basic needs isn't just unnecessary; it's a compliance risk.

Stop making costly HR mistakes with the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.

Telling a pregnant employee "just take whatever leave you need" feels supportive, but it could lead to massive legal liabilities under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).

The PWFA requires employers to provide reasonable pregnancy accommodations, or you risk significant EEOC penalties.

When an employee announces she's pregnant, defaulting to "take whatever leave you need" feels supportive, but under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), forcing or defaulting to leave is the #1 violation the EEOC is prosecuting.

Under the PWFA, leave is a LAST resort, not a first response.

Protect your business from costly compliance mistakes and keep your operations moving forward.

Are complex HR issues constantly landing on your desk because your team lacks executive-level guidance?

As your business grows, informal systems start to fracture. Your internal team knows your culture best, but expecting them to navigate legal risks, policy updates, and tough personnel decisions without expert backing creates massive friction and unnecessary risk for the business.

You don't have to give up internal control to get professional HR leadership. You simply need high-level strategic support standing behind the people you already trust.
