New Federal Law Requires Break for Breastfeeding

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Noel Tripp

On March 23, President Obama signed a bill which amended the FLSA to require most covered employers to provide breaks to mothers for the purposes of breastfeeding (as well as furnish private space for them to do so).  While the new law does not require that nursing mothers be paid for such break time, state law may.  An in depth analysis of the new law is available here.
