Did you know that Health Care Reform included an FLSA Amendment Requiring Break Time
for Nursing Mothers to Express Milk? The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, (3/23/10)-Sec 4207- amends FLSA to require employers to provide time for nursing mothers to express breast milk. “Reasonable Break Time for Nursing Mothers,” provides that, for up to 1 year following a child’s birth, employees get a “reasonable break time”(unpaid and unlimited) each time she needs to express milk. Employers are required to provide a location,not a bathroom, shielded from view and free from intrusion where the employee can express milk. Applies to all employers covered by the FLSA. Only employers with less than 50 employees MAY BE exempt, if the requirements impose an “undue hardship” of significant expense or difficulty in relation to the size, financial resources, nature or structure of the business.
