Lactation - PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act (PUMP Act)

The FLSA requires employers to provide reasonable break time for a nursing employee to express breast milk for their nursing child for one year after the child’s birth each time the employee needs to express breast milk. Employers must provide a place, other than a restroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by the employee to express breast milk.
