Employers should post the DOL’s two new posters on FLSA and FMLA protections which the DOL updated following the passage of the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act (PWFA) and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers (PUMP) Act, discussed in our previous blog. Both posters should be placed in a conspicuous location in all employer-locations even if there are no eligible employees at those locations.
The FLSA poster was updated to ensure exempt employees were aware the FLSA protections afforded them by the Pump Act, namely that they be provided a place, other than a bathroom, to pump at work free from intrusion and shielded from view and to take reasonable break time to express their milk since, prior to the PUMP Act, the Affordable Care Act only extended those protections to non-exempt employees.
