Phila. Amendment Requires Accommodations for Nursing Mothers

On Sept. 3, Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter signed legislation that amends Philadelphia's Fair Practices Ordinance, Phila. Code Section 9-1100 et seq., which applies to any employer with one or more employees, exclusive of parents, a spouse, life partner or children, to make it an unlawful employment practice for the employer to fail to reasonably accommodate an employee's need to express breast milk. The reasonable accommodations include providing unpaid break time or permitting an employee to utilize paid break time, mealtime, or both, to pump breast milk.

Up until this settlement, it has been unclear what schools' legal obligations are to students with food allergies but now, all learning institutions, from nursery school to postgraduate, should consider modifications to existing policies and procedures regarding food-related conditions.
