Therefore, 黑料专区 is updating its employee lactation policy to explicitly permit students to use lactation rooms.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>黑料专区 will provide its employees reasonable break time for up to three years after they give birth to express milk. An employee may utilize paid break periods to express milk, take an unpaid break period, or make up the time they may need by extending the workday. 黑料专区 will also provide to employees, upon request, a room or other location, in reasonably close proximity to the work area where they can express milk in privacy. The room will not be a bathroom, and it will be shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public. These rooms will be made available to students based on availability, on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>黑料专区 has established the following space as available lactation room:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kiely 134E (located within suite 111)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To gain access, employees should contact Human Resources at 718-997-4455 and students should contact Health Services at 718-997-2760.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#efefef&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#E71939&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#e71939&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; toggle_text_color=&#8221;#E71939&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_color_all=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Responsibilities of Employees&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Requests for time off to express milk: Discuss your request with your supervisor.
