AR 2.1 Accommodations for Nursing Mothers

Arkansas Support Network will provide nursing mothers reasonable break time to express milk for their infant child. If you are nursing, the Company will provide you a private, secure, and sanitary room or other location in close proximity to the work area, other than a restroom, to express milk. The room or location will be shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public.

Expressed milk can be stored in company refrigerators. Sufficiently mark or label your milk to avoid confusion for other employees who may share the refrigerator. You may also bring a personal cooler for storage.

For Employees that work within individual's homes, the Employee must work with their Supervisor to create a plan for nursing and clear it for that individual's home.

The break time must, if possible, run concurrently with any break time already provided to you. You are encouraged to discuss the length and frequency of these breaks with your Supervisor.

The Company will not discriminate or retaliate against employees who express milk in the workplace in accordance with this policy.
