Employment; employers required to provide location and break time for employees to express breast milk

Summary

The Nursing Mother's Act mandates that any Alabama employer with more than 50 employees must allow an employee who is nursing a child up to one year old to take reasonable break time—paid or unpaid—to express breast milk. The employer must also provide a private, non‑bathroom space that is reasonably accessible to the work area. The law aims to support working parents while allowing employers to claim an undue hardship exemption if compliance would significantly disrupt operations.
