AN ACT concerning employment.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act is |
amended by changing Section 10 as follows:
|
(820 ILCS 260/10) |
Sec. 10. Break time for nursing mothers. An employer shall |
provide reasonable break time to an employee who needs to |
express breast milk for her nursing infant child each time the |
employee has the need to express milk for one year after the |
child's birth. The break time may run concurrently with any |
break time already provided to the employee. An employer shall |
compensate the employee during the break time at the |
employee's regular rate of compensation. An employer shall not |
require the employee to use paid leave during the break time or |
reduce the employee's compensation during the break time in |
any other manner. An employer may not reduce an employee's |
compensation for time used for the purpose of expressing milk |
or nursing a baby. An employer shall provide paid reasonable |
break time as needed by the employee unless to do so would |
create an undue hardship as defined by item (J) of Section |
2-102 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. |
