Did you know that nursing moms are entitled to pump breast milk during office hours for their lovely babies?
Yes! According to Republic Act 10028 Chapter 3, Sec. 12:
Sec. 12. Lactation Periods. – Nursing employees shall granted break intervals in addition to the regular time-off for meals to breastfeed or express milk. These intervals, which shall include the time it takes an employee to get to and from the workplace lactation station, shall be counted as compensable hours worked. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) may adjust the same: Provided, That such intervals shall not be less than a total of forty (40) minutes for every eight (8)-hour working period.
That means that mommies are granted of not less than a total of forty (40) minutes in every eight (8) hours working period aside from their scheduled breaks and lunch.
Any employer who refuses to grant a nursing mom this privilege can be reported to Department of Labor and Employment.
So, to all the moms out there especially to our colleagues in the BPO industry, always remember about your privilege and let your employers know if in any case they forget about it.
