Pumping at work- no policy in place

mrsjessicamitchell

I am wondering about how/ when I should approach my employer about my plans to pump at work when I return from maternity leave... I checked our employee handbook and there is nothing in there about pumping. I know we do not have a "pumping room" that I could use as I work for a small, family owned company. I know that I have certain rights when it comes to getting breaks, etc to pump, but I am not sure what exactly they are, and when I should be starting this conversation with my boss... I am due on 2/22/13 and plan on working up until my due date.

TIA ladies!
