The Providing Urgent Maternal Protections
​(PUMP) for Nursing Mothers Act

Picture
The PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act requires employers to provide:
  • Reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for their nursing child
  • A place to pump at work, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public

These accommodations must be provided for one year after the child's birth and be available each time an employee needs it. ​
Read the full text in the US Code. ​
