NJ S2689

Employers must provide paid break time at the employee's regular rate of compensation for lactating employees to express breast milk for as long as the employee desires, not limited to infant breastfeeding

Lactating employees must be provided a private room or location free from intrusion by other employees or customers, in close proximity to the work area, that is not a restroom (changed from "toilet stall" in existing law)

Employers must provide additional accommodations including job restructuring and modified work schedules for lactating employees

Employers cannot penalize employees for requesting or using breastfeeding accommodations, and failure to provide accommodations constitutes unlawful employment discrimination under New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination

The accommodation requirements apply unless the employer can demonstrate undue hardship, with factors including business size, workforce composition, and cost of accommodation considered
