Paid Lactation Breaks Effective June 19th, 2024

Effective June 19th, 2024, all private sector employers (regardless of size) will be required to provide 30 minutes of paid break time to employees who need to express breast milk at work. Employees must also be permitted to use any existing paid break or mealtime for breast milk expression over 30 minutes. Employers must provide paid lactation breaks “each time an employee has reasonable need to express breast milk”, with no cap on the amount of paid lactation breaks per day. Employers must also distribute a lactation accommodation policy to all employees aligned with the model policy developed by the New York Department of Labor. Employers are encouraged to update their policies to reflect these changes to the law. For more information on paid lactation breaks visit: https://dol.ny.gov/expressing-breast-milk-workplace
