💪 California Moms: Know Your Rights!
Just returned from maternity leave and wondering if you can pump at work?
Yes, you absolutely can!
Under California law your employer must:
✅ Provide reasonable break time to express milk.
✅ Provide a private, safe space, not a bathroom, for pumping.
This is a protected right, and your employer cannot retaliate, discriminate, or make your work environment hostile for exercising it.
If you notice that you’re being treated unfairly, denied time, or made to feel guilty for pumping:
📝 Make a paper trail.
Document every incident!!! Keep a copy for yourself of all emails, texts, and complaints to HR or management.
Save proof of any schedule changes, workload adjustments, or comments that follow your request.
Those records can make all the difference! Consult an employment attorney to protect your rights.
Because being a mom should never mean losing your job or your dignity. ❤️
