| 6 | (820 ILCS 260/10) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 10. Break time for nursing mothers. An employer shall | ||||||
| 8 | provide reasonable break time to an employee who needs to | ||||||
| 9 | express breast milk for her nursing infant child each time the | ||||||
| 10 | employee has the need to express milk for one year after the | ||||||
| 11 | child's birth. The break time may run concurrently with any | ||||||
| 12 | break time already provided to the employee. An employer shall | ||||||

| 17 | any other manner. An employer may not reduce an employee's | ||||||
| 18 | compensation for time used for the purpose of expressing milk | ||||||
| 19 | or nursing a baby. An employer shall provide paid reasonable | ||||||
| 20 | break time as needed by the employee unless to do so would | ||||||
| 21 | create an undue hardship as defined by item (J) of Section | ||||||
| 22 | 2-102 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. | ||||||
