A New York budget amendment adds additional paid protections for employees that need to express milk for their nursing child. The protections take effect on June 19, 2024.

The details

Under existing law, New York employees may use reasonable unpaid break time or existing paid break or meal time to express milk during the workday for up to three years following childbirth.

New Paid Time to Express Milk

Beginning June 19, 2024, the New York Fiscal Year 2025 budget amends Labor Law § 206-c to provide eligible employees with an additional 30 minutes of paid break time to express breast milk for their nursing child.

Note: An employee may supplement the above 30 minutes with their existing paid break time or meal time when needed.

Next steps

  • Update workplace lactation policies and procedures.
  • Train supervisors on the law by June 19, 2024.
