NEW On-line Tool for Employers to Support Nursing Mothers- Many employers are required to provide reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child for one year after the child's birth. In an effort to help employers comply with the 2010's health care reform initiative, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is developing an online searchable database to showcase creative solutions for supporting employees who are nursing their babies, with special emphasis on employers of hourly workers and challenging work environments. The resource will be available in Fall 2012.
To help populate the web-based resource, they will be gathering success stories from businesses of all industry types over the next few weeks. If your workplace is willing to share your solutions for both the time and space requirements of the Federal nursing breaks law, please visit the online submission site at www.everymother.org/workplace. All information will be kept confidential and no identifying information will be made public without permission from the employer.
