Update: DOL Issues Guidance on PUMP Act for Nursing Workers - a podcast by Perkins Coie LLP

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently issued Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2023-2 to provide guidance to its field staff regarding enforcement of the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act (PUMP Act), passed in 2022. Now in effect in all states, the PUMP Act expands the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) workplace protections for all employees, not just nonexempt workers, who need to express breast milk.

In this episode, Heather and Emily discuss the new guidance and how the DOL interprets and may enforce the PUMP Act, including available remedies for violation of any provision of the Act.
