Requires employer to provide certain accommodations to employee who is breast feeding.
This New Jersey bill requires employers to provide specific accommodations for employees who are breastfeeding. It mandates paid break time at the employee's regular rate, job restructuring, modified work schedules, and a private, non-restroom space for expressing breast milk for as long as the employee desires. Employers cannot penalize employees for requesting or using these accommodations, and may only avoid providing them by demonstrating undue hardship. The bill applies to all employers in New Jersey and directly affects working mothers who are breastfeeding or expressing breast milk.
