What can Employers do to support nursing mothers in the workplace?

• Develop policy and determine who oversees this program *
• Inform employees of new policy
• Determine clean, private place with access to electric outlets and a chair. Consider a walkthrough with your employee
• Offer flexible breaks
• Apply for Breastfeeding Friendly Employer recognition*
• Consider insurance coverage for lactation consultants
• Consider corporate lactation program if staff includes significant number of mothers

• Understand the law:
In May 2008, Vermont’s labor law was amended to include the following:
(a) For an employee who is a nursing mother, the employer shall for three years after the birth of a child;
(1) provide reasonable time, either compensated or uncompensated, throughout the day for the employee to express breast milk for her nursing child. The decision to provide compensated time shall be in the sole discretion of the employer, unless modified by a collective bargaining agreement; and
(2) make a reasonable accommodation to provide appropriate private space that is not a bathroom stall.
(b) An employer may be exempted from the provisions of subsection (a) of this section if providing time or an appropriate private space for expressing breast milk would substantially disrupt the employer’s operations.
(c) An employer shall not retaliate or discriminate against an employee who exercises the right provided under this section.
