NY workers are now entitled to paid break time to pump milk
Starting on Wednesday, breastfeeding employees are entitled to 30 minutes of paid break time to pump milk at work under a new state law.
“As New York’s first mom governor, I am fighting every day to give working parents the protections they need to keep their families strong and healthy,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement. Workers are responsible for informing their employers of their plans to take lactation breaks, in writing and preferably when they first return from parental leave, the regulations state. The breaks are considered distinct from meal and break time, and employers cannot require workers to stay late because they spent time expressing milk.
