Businesses Required to Accomodate Nursing Mothers

H. Adam Shapiro

Hidden well over a 1,000 pages into President Obama’s health care bill that was passed earlier this year is a provision that all working mother’s can appreciate. Employers are now required to provide “a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk.” Businesses with less than 50 employees can claim it’s an undue hardship if they can prove it truly is, but larger companies will have to comply. Mother’s can take time to express milk as often as they like, but they don’t have to be paid for that time.
