Breastfeeding Violations at Work:

Employees breastfeeding their children are legally entitled to reasonable, unpaid break time to express breast milk. However, California laws exempt employers with fewer than 50 employees from these regulations.

Examples of Breastfeeding Law Violations:

A) Failure to provide a clean, private area for pumping during work hours.

B) Denial of additional break time for expressing breast milk.

C) Restricting an employee’s ability to leave for pumping breaks.

D) Demanding documentation for expressing breast milk needs.

E) Mandating pumping or breastfeeding in unsanitary areas like bathrooms.

F) Lack of essential amenities in the lactation area, such as a surface, electricity, or seating.

Know Your Rights:

If you’ve experienced illegal breastfeeding violations, protected under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Act Swiftly:

The Statute of Limitations for breastfeeding violation claims has an expiration date. Missing this deadline forfeits your right to file a suit. Contact the DFEH or EEOC promptly to preserve your rights.

Seek Legal Guidance:

Depending on your claim type, filing a complaint with DFEH or EEOC is crucial within specific timeframes. Failure to do so may hinder your ability to pursue claims in state or federal court. Contact our San Diego Employment Law Attorney for a free Case Evaluation.
