BREAKS FOR NURSING MOTHERS TO PUMP BREAST MILK Employees who need to express breast milk for their infant child _during the twelve (12) months following the birth of the child will be provided with reasonable break times for this purpose each day, as long as such breaks do not unduly disrupt company operations. As far as possible, such breaks must run concurrently with regular break times otherwise provided; and must be arranged so that the requirements of the job can be adequately met by other staff on duty. It is not necessary for an employee to clock out for such breaks unless regular unpaid meal break time is being used; the Utilities will not reduce the compensation of any employee as a result of taking lactation breaks. Employees needing time to express breast milk should contact their supervisor to inform them of the need and discuss an appropriate private location.
