On May 17, 2023, the United States Department of Labor (“USDOL”) published new guidelines for employers in order to ensure compliance with the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act (“PUMP Act”). The PUMP Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) to require an employer to provide a reasonable break each time an employee has the need to express breast milk at work for one (1) year after the birth of her child. Because the PUMP Act amended the FLSA, there is a new required FLSA poster, here, which should be promptly posted in your workplace.
If you have any questions regarding the updated FLSA poster, or the requirements of the PUMP Act, please contact HR Partners at 785-233-7860.

"HR Partners provides a screening process when searching for candidates for a position. The phone screens save me valuable time and give me the information needed to decide whether to invite someone to our office for an in-person interview.
They also serve as a knowledgeable resource for up to date standards with HR issues. Two of the most significant improvements would be making the hiring process a breeze and having a resource to provide valuable feedback on HR issues. HR Partners allows you to continue to work on your mission, whatever it might be, while spending less time on HR issues. You have the confidence when hiring someone that they will have the skills/knowledge to the job well."
