Series 4000: District Employment

Each time an employee needs to express breast milk during the 1-year period after the child’s birth, the District will provide reasonable break time for this purpose in a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion by co-workers and the public or additional time may be granted for appropriate cause as determined by the Superintendent or designee. For non-exempt employees, break time for expressing breast milk will be unpaid unless the employee is not completely relieved from duty during the entirety of the break, or the employee uses paid break time to which the employee is otherwise entitled under an applicable collective bargaining agreement, individual employment contract, or employee handbook. A longer accommodation may be available under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.
