On May 17, 2023, the United States Department of Labor (“USDOL”) published new guidelines for employers in order to ensure compliance with the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act (“PUMP Act”). The PUMP Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) to require an employer to provide a reasonable break each time an employee has the need to express breast milk at work for one (1) year after the birth of her child. Because the PUMP Act amended the FLSA, there is a new required FLSA poster, here, which should be promptly posted in your workplace.
If you have any questions regarding the updated FLSA poster, or the requirements of the PUMP Act, please contact HR Partners at 785-233-7860.
