If compliance with the room/location requirements would impose an undue hardship on the Company, we will make reasonable efforts to provide a room or other location, other than a restroom or toilet stall, that is in close proximity to the work area where employees can express breast milk in privacy. You may submit a lactation location request through Human Resources department. We will respond to your request within five business days.
Milk Storage
Expressed milk can be stored [in company refrigerators, refrigerators provided in the lactation room, or other location]. Sufficiently mark or label your milk to avoid confusion for others who may share the refrigerator. You may also bring a personal cooler for storage.
Retaliation
The Company will not discriminate or retaliate against employees who express breast milk in the workplace in accordance with this policy.
