Wilmington College will comply with all applicable requirements under the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and applicable state and local laws. Specifically, the College will provide employees with reasonable accommodation for any medical needs that may arises from pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, as long as it can do so without undue hardship on the College’s operations. When an employee requests an accommodation, the College will engage in a timely, good faith interactive process with the employee to determine if the requested accommodation is reasonable and, if not, discuss alternative reasonable accommodations that may be provided.
Wilmington College supports breastfeeding employees by providing reasonable accommodation to express breast milk during working hours. The College will provide:
* Reasonable break time for lactation purposes. The frequency and duration of breaks may vary with the employee’s needs.
* A private, clean space (other than a bathroom) that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public for expressing breast milk.
* Access to a refrigerator for storing expressed milk.
Employees needing lactation accommodation should contact their supervisor or the Human Resources Department to arrange suitable space and break times. The College will work with each employee to find solutions that meet their needs while minimizing disruption to work operations.
