The University will provide nursing mothers reasonable break time to express milk for their nursing child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are encouraged to discuss the length and frequency of these breaks with your manager\/supervisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark University will not discriminate or retaliate against employees who express milk in the workplace in accordance with this policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
