Lactation Program

CSUF is committed to providing faculty, staff, students, visitors and job applicants with a private, secure, convenient, and sanitary space to use for lactation. These spaces, called “Rejuvenation Spaces,” are shielded from intrusion. They contain a comfortable sofa or chair, access to electricity, and a table near or attached to a chair that will support a lactation pump. The space provides access to a sink and refrigerator.

For Employees 

If there is no Rejuvenation Space or refrigeration in close proximity to one’s workspace, employees should notify the Office for Civil Rights and Equity to locate refrigeration. In the event that refrigeration cannot be provided, the university may provide another cooling device suitable for storing milk, such as an employer-provided cooler. However, individuals expressing milk are expected to make their own arrangements for providing sealed containers for proper storage.

Nursing Employees

Employers must provide reasonable break time for employees to express milk for up to one year after childbirth. The frequency and duration of the breaks will vary depending on a number of factors. The time necessary to express milk includes, among other things, the time walking to and from the space, retrieving of and setting up a pump or other supplies, washing and cleaning the pump or other supplies, and storing milk.

Supervisors and managers are reminded to take necessary steps to revise staff break schedules to ensure that normal business operations are not unreasonably disrupted as a result of providing breaks for employees to express milk.

Employees who plan to express milk while at work, prior to their return from parental leave, need to first contact their Human Resources (HRIE or HR) or Benefits department to discuss guidelines for expressing milk during working hours. After HR has been contacted, the employee should contact the Office for Civil Rights and Equity at (657) 278-2121 for information on scheduling access to a Rejuvenation Space. Employees are responsible for notifying their direct supervisor/manager if they use any additional time beyond their usual break or meal times.

For more details on lactation break time for working employees, please contact Total Wellness in the Human Resources department at DL-TotalWellness@fullerton.edu
