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.

“I first met Kristina Dietrick and learned of HR Partners at last year’s NRECA Interact conference. Her presentation on developing an employee handbook was very informative. Kristina sent me all the materials and introduced me to the staff who worked closely with myself and our General Manager to develop our new employee handbook specifically to fit our needs.
We were so impressed that when our Board President asked about doing an evaluation of our General Manager’s performance, that we immediately thought of HR Partners.”
We can’t thank HR Partners enough for all their help with our GM’s review process. Their knowledge and experience made the process so easy.
I have recommended CBS to all 10 of our distribution cooperative members for all their human resources needs.
