The University will provide nursing mothers reasonable break time to express milk for their nursing child.
If you are nursing, the University will provide you a private room or location, other than a restroom, to express milk. The room or location will be shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public.
Expressed milk can be stored in University refrigerators, non-lab refrigerators. If using public refrigerators, sufficiently mark or label your milk to avoid confusion for other employees’ who may share the refrigerator. You may also bring a personal cooler for storage
The break time must, if possible, run concurrently with any break time already provided to you. If you are nonexempt, clock in and out/record the start and end time for, any time taken that does not run concurrently with normally scheduled rest periods. Break time may be unpaid as permissible under applicable law.
You are encouraged to discuss the length and frequency of these breaks with your manager/supervisor.
Clark University will not discriminate or retaliate against employees who express milk in the workplace in accordance with this policy.
