If the company is small (under 50), you don't get the Fair Labor Standards Act, which states that businesses need to provide a place to and break times to pump. I would figure out how often you need to pump and what the time comes up to and work that into your schedule--either staying a little later or coming in a little earlier to making sure you use your lunchbreak to do so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good#post-417257 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:11:56 +0000 dagret 417257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Congratulations on your new job! </p> <p>I'm sorry I don't have any advice on the pumping topic. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good#post-417253 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:10:24 +0000 autumnlove 417253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I like the PP's advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good#post-417247 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:08:00 +0000 littlek 417247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!!! I would talk to your new boss and let him/her know and figure out if there is a dedicated pumping room. You may need to talk to HR since they may know more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good#post-417208 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:53:25 +0000 T-Mom 417208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! That's awesome. I would just tell them that you're a nursing mom and that you will need time to pump X number of times a day for X number of minutes. And that you will be sure to make the time up and factor that time into your hours, or however you plan to do it. I would think they would be accomodating, and then if they don't get it, you can talk about the rights you have by law.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good#post-417197 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:50:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 417197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just talked to my supervisor over the phone (less awkward). I told her that I would be pumping and would like to shift my breaks and lunch to accommodate about three pumping sessions. I didn't need a specific time but just three times during the day but I could be flexible for meetings and such. </p> <p>We had a pumping room designated so I wasn't worried about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good#post-417182 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:48:44 +0000 regberadaisy 417182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a job!!!</p> <p>Been laid off since first week of October. Excited to have an income again but sad I will no longer be home all the time with M. :(</p> <p>Any ideas on how to broach pumping? The owners are 2 males. It's a small place so no real HR department I think.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
