Employers in Puerto Rico face specific obligations under the Pregnancy and Lactation Act, and Estrella LLC is committed to helping our clients navigate these requirements effectively.
The law provides important protections for pregnant and breastfeeding employees, mandating accommodations to ensure their health, safety, and workplace equity. We assist employers in understanding and complying with these legal obligations, including providing appropriate leave, creating safe work environments, and establishing lactation spaces. By offering tailored guidance, we help businesses promote a supportive workplace culture while avoiding potential legal disputes and penalties.
Our experienced attorneys work closely with employers to develop and implement policies that comply with the Pregnancy and Lactation Act, ensuring alignment with both the law’s requirements and the organization’s operational needs. We help employers establish procedures for managing pregnancy-related accommodations, such as temporary job modifications, reduced workloads, or adjustments to working hours. Additionally, we assist in designing and maintaining lactation spaces that meet legal standards, ensuring they are private, accessible, and free from disruptions. These proactive measures not only ensure compliance but also foster a positive workplace environment that values employee well-being.
When issues or disputes arise, we provide comprehensive legal support to employers in addressing claims related to pregnancy discrimination, failure to accommodate, or violations of lactation rights. Whether it involves responding to employee complaints, mediating disputes, or defending employers in administrative or judicial proceedings, our team is prepared to protect our clients’ interests. With a deep understanding of Puerto Rico’s labor laws and a commitment to practical solutions, we empower employers to meet their legal obligations while maintaining a productive and inclusive workplace for all employees.
