Requires employer to provide certain accommodations to employee who is breast feeding.
This bill requires New Jersey employers to provide specific accommodations for employees who are breastfeeding their infants. It mandates employers to offer reasonable break time during work hours (paid at the employee's regular rate), job restructuring, and modified work schedules for breastfeeding needs. Employers must also provide a private, non-restroom space for expressing breast milk, free from intrusion by other employees or customers. These accommodations must be provided for as long as the employee desires, and employers cannot penalize employees for requesting or using these accommodations. The bill clarifies these protections as part of New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination.
