Hi Alan, Here is our Breastfeeding/Lactation policy – we do not have one on Telecommuting.
Breastfeeding/Lactation Wake Tech provides accommodation for nursing mothers who wish to express breast milk during the workday. For up to one year after the birth of her child, an employee who is breastfeeding will be provided reasonable breaks of up to 20 minutes each time the employee has need to express milk during the workday. The employee will also be provided a designated room (other than a restroom) that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public which may be used by the employee for expressing breast milk. Breaks of longer than 20 minutes will be unpaid; supervisors should report unpaid break time to HR. The safety and storage of breast milk in the workplace is the sole responsibility of the employee. If breast milk is stored in a refrigerator shared by others, it must be placed in a discreet container clearly labeled with the employee’s name. The college is not liable for any damage to the milk, including improper storage, refrigeration, or tampering. This lactation policy meets the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as it relates to breaks for nursing mothers. _______________________________ Rachel King, M.A. Policies and Procedures Manager Adjunct Instructor, Office Systems Technology Wake Technical Community College 9101 Fayetteville Road Raleigh, NC 27603 (919) 866-5603, Main Campus – MH 326C [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Sibert Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2014 10:52 AM To: Institutional policy-related discussions Subject: [acupa-l] Policy Research I have been asked to do some research in two policy areas: Telecommuting / Teleworking Nursing Mothers If you have anything in place that has been working for you in either or both of these areas, I would appreciate knowing about it. Thanks, Alan P.S. I thought the sessions at the Orlando conference were very beneficial to me as a new kid.
