What is the maximum work week for a pregnant member during the last three months of pregnancy?

The maximum work week for a pregnant member during the last three months of pregnancy is set at 40 hours per week. This standard recognizes the need for flexibility and accommodations for pregnant service members as they approach their due dates. The regulation aims to support the health and well-being of both the expectant mother and her child, allowing for a manageable workload during this critical period.

By capping the work hours at 40, it helps ensure that pregnant members can balance the demands of their duties with necessary rest and self-care. It also aligns with typical full-time work expectations, providing consistency and predictability in scheduling while considering the additional physical and emotional demands of late pregnancy.
