Podcasts about pump act

On the radio show this week, we dive into wins for Paid Family Medical Leave at the state level, as well as the decades-long fight for a national paid family medical leave program and recent legislative wins like the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the PUMP Act. We hear about the economic impact of unpaid care work, with mothers contributing an estimated $450 billion in unpaid labor annually and facing significant wage gaps and workplace discrimination, particularly mothers of color. We cover the challenges of family separation, the lack of legal representation for unaccompanied minors, and the cruel Trump practices that are unfairly terrorizing immigrant families and communities. We discuss strategies to close the wage gap between men and women (and between moms and dads), and how closing the wage gap would boost the overall economy.   SPECIAL GUESTS: Sharita Gruberg, National Partnership for Women and Families, @npfw; Kate Bond, Institute for Women's Policy Research, @IWPRResearch; Jennifer Hojaiban, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), @supportKIND, @supportkind.org; Deborah Vagins, Equal Rights Advocates & Equal Pay Today, @debvagins, @EqualRightsAdv, @EqualPay2dayOrg

In this episode of Hiring to Firing, hosts Tracey Diamond and Emily Schifter explore the classic movie 9 to 5 and its critique of workplace inequities. Joined by wage and hour reporter Daniela Porat from Law360, they share insights on the evolution of wage and hour laws, pay transparency, salary history bans, and the ongoing fight for gender equality in the workplace. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on workplace equality and practical tips to help employers comply and keep up with the ever-changing legal landscape in this area.

In this episode, I break down two major federal laws passed in 2023 that expand workplace protections for women—especially those who are pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) gives employees the right to reasonable accommodations for pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, similar to the ADA standard, as long as the employer has 15 or more employees. We also cover the PUMP Act, which strengthens and broadens the right to break time and a private space to express breast milk at work. Together, these laws close long-standing gaps in federal protections and help ensure that women don't have to choose between their jobs and their health.

The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 educators across the state, across a wide variety of professional paths and in every stage of their careers.

In this episode, OEA Collective Bargaining and Research Consultant Eric Watson-Urban offers his wisdom on the PUMP Act, continuing contracts, and 403(b) special pay plans, three important areas where the law intersects with potential contract provisions and the language every Local bargaining team should be aiming to include in any future agreement.

This episode of Multistate Monday offers an informative overview of the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act (PUMP Act) and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). Dee Anna Hays, chair of Ogletree Deakins' Multistate Advice and Counseling Practice Group, and Susan Gorey are joined by Christine Bestor Townsend, who fields as host of questions about employer obligations under the PUMP Act and the PWFA. Christine offers practical takeaways regarding interaction with other federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as state and local lactation laws. She also reviews coverage, enforcement and remedies, and pointers for developing well-defined and compliant policies for both acts.

In early February, we discussed the expanded protections for pregnant and nursing employees in the US under the PWFA and the PUMP Act.  Today we continue our discussion on this topic, based on recent guidance released by the EEOC and DOL, as employers prepare to comply with the requirements of each of these laws.   Listen to our February episode here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/223251/12218937Host: Susan Deniker (email) (Steptoe & Johnson PLLC / West Virginia)Guest Speaker: Veronica Yu Welsh (email) (Shawe Rosenthal LLP / Maryland)Register on the ELA website here to receive email invitations to future programs.

We've been lucky the last two seasons of Human Solutions to have been discovered by an audience beyond -- in some cases *far* beyond -- our Massachusetts backyard. We're grateful you're here, HR Pro, and we've cooked up a season of conversations that we hope will apply to you no matter where you are. Of course, we can shake our roots, and we have just as much to share with our locals, too. We're digging into Non-Competes and Non-Solicitation early this season, a subject close to our hearts and the headlines. Also on deck are the PUMP Act and maternal rights, handling exempt versus non-exempt employees, benefits strategies, and DEI. We're looking hard at stress and mindfulness at work and how we make decisions in challenging environments. And, of course, the team has come together to hash out some of our most bitterly debated subjects: The Dress Code.That should get us started, so be on the lookout next week for our return to form and get ready! Tom and Terry and Jen and Kyle are all back in the saddle, along with some incredible and experienced HR voices new to the show, too.

In this episode, the Snarky Boob Queens discuss the PUMP Act. The PUMP Act, or the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections (PUMP) for Nursing Mothers Act, is a federal law in the United States that was enacted in 2018. The law requires employers to provide reasonable break time and a private, non-bathroom space for nursing mothers to express breast milk at work. The PUMP Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which sets minimum wage and overtime pay standards for employees in the US, to include these protections for nursing mothers. The law applies to all employers covered by the FLSA and applies to nursing mothers for up to one year after the birth of a child.

On this episode, we discuss the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 and two important laws included in that act.    On December 29, 2022, President Biden signed this Act into law, which in addition to addressing government funding, included two laws that provide greater protections for pregnant and nursing employees in the workplace: The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, or the PWFA, and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act, or the PUMP Act.  Today's discussion will focus on how these new federal laws expand protections for pregnant and nursing employees, and how employers can adapt and implement policies and procedures in response to these changes.

Phil, Bert, and special guest Erin Miley, AAIM's business manager for member and pre-hire services, discuss what to do with all that fragmented data. 4:10 - What to expect at the Wayfinder Event this Friday, February 10, 2023.   Lawyer on the Clock: 6:58 - First up is a COVID-19 related case out of New Jersey involving a restaurant that terminated an employee for quarantining after an exposure to COVID-19 and developing symptoms. This is ongoing, but similar cases are coming.   10:11 - Two new laws are coming down the pike. The first is the Pregnant Workers' Fairness Act, which requires employers to offer reasonable accommodations to employees who are expecting and bars companies from punishing a pregnant worker who seeks an arrangement to help them safely do their job.   12:32 - The second is the Pump Act, which expands workplace protections for lactating employees by requiring employers to provide all employees who are nursing with reasonable time and private space to express breastmilk.   12:59 - The EEOC announced its enforcement priorities for the next several years. They're really going to be looking at systemic issues and things that are systemwide that impact more people.   17:15 - NLRB numbers are out and union membership is now 6.6% of the private sector workforce.   Philburt's Phorum:  20:57 - Phil places some Superbowl vs. Workplace bets.    The Employer's Lounge 23:58  - Poll results are in, and expense management is by far the application most of our viewers would exclude from a suite of HR applications.    24:53 - Erin Miley discusses using an integrated HR solution, which connects various platforms together to create a streamlined process of flow of information, and what we need to consider about the tools that we're using as far as collecting, storing, and retaining data.    Host(s):  Phil Brandt, President and CEO, AAIM Employers' Association Burt Garland, Shareholder, Ogletree Deakins   Guest(s): Erin Miley, AAIM Business Manager, Member & Pre-Hire Services   Powered by AAIM Employers' Association and Ogletree Deakins, a Feature Group USA production
