The Department of Labor (DOL) has published two new posters this spring.
The first is an updated Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) poster. While the April 2016 and February 2013 posters still fulfill the DOL's posting requirement, the new poster includes an updated QR code for employees to scan to learn more about their FMLA rights.
The second is a new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) minimum wage poster, which covers the lactation accommodation obligations imposed by the federal Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers (PUMP) Act. Please note that previous versions of this poster no longer fulfill the posting requirement and must be replaced. The new law goes into effect on June 27, 2023. As we reported in our last update, PUMP requires employers to provide employees with reasonable break time and a private space (that's not a bathroom) to express milk at work. The private space must be protected from intrusion and shielded from view. These newly-protected employee rights are outlined in the new DOL poster. The law also requires that employers must provide reasonable accommodations to lactating employees, some of which may include: more additional break time; closer parking; flexible hours; appropriately-sized uniforms and safety apparel; and excusal from strenuous activities.
