The cubicle walls shall be at least seven feet tall to insure the<br /> nursing employee’s privacy."</p> <p>I've never worked anywhere with 7 foot tall cubicle walls that are completely enclosed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044370 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:00:32 +0000 regberadaisy 1044370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: that's what I did at my last place but one of them was made into a "pumping" room. Here there is two conference rooms and a open conference area. So if I took the conference room they will still have a secondary space to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044361 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:58:58 +0000 bunnylove08 1044361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: do you think you can book the conference room (if they have one). One friend pumped in her car, i dont think thats a great option either </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044351 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:55:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1044351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: yes, you are! :) I'm not sure what to do yet when I have a second. When I started here I was at the end of my pumping so I just pumped in the bathroom. But the second time around I have no intentions of pumping in a bathroom, private or not, for over a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044331 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:50:12 +0000 bunnylove08 1044331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: haha i agree with you. I have to say I'm lucky to have my own office and someone donated a fridge to me. I talk to other people and I didnt know how hard it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044316 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:45:32 +0000 regberadaisy 1044316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: grosss haha. Let me specify, private bathroom over a cubicle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044310 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:43:59 +0000 bunnylove08 1044310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: my friend said the same thing, except for the time someone did a number 2 while she was in the bathroom pumping. i laughed when she told me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044300 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:40:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1044300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: right?! I'd prefer a bathroom over a cubicle, frankly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044296 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:40:04 +0000 bunnylove08 1044296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: i feel a cubical is so open. I dont know how that is acceptable </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044289 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:38:26 +0000 regberadaisy 1044289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: yea...I don't really like the "as a last resort it can be a cubicle!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044287 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:37:37 +0000 bunnylove08 1044287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: No problem, i feel that the document is a little hard to read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044283 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:36:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1044283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: thanks! I found that doc and missed the part that it applies to any co regardless of size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044280 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:34:52 +0000 bunnylove08 1044280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.labor.ny.gov/workerprotection/laborstandards/pdfs/guidelinesexpressionofbreastmilkfinal.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.labor.ny.gov/workerprotection/laborstandards/pdfs/guidelinesexpressionofbreastmilkfinal.pdf</a></p> <p>it does not need to be a room, it can be a cubical if there isnt a room available </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ny-state-pumping-moms#post-1044269 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:32:32 +0000 regberadaisy 1044269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone know what the official regulation is on employers providing a room to pump?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
