Golden Latch Program

The "Maternal Wall" is a documented reality in corporate environments. Returning to work is the #1 reason parents stop breastfeeding earlier than planned, often leading to burnout, decreased engagement, and attrition. Recent data shows that only 46% of companies report full compliance with the PUMP Act. This means more than half of U.S. organizations are operating with significant legal and operational exposure. Our certification ensures your organization isn't just "getting by", it is leading the market in supporting and retaining the families that drive your success.

What employers need to know

In 2010, Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was amended to require employers to provide basic accommodations, such as time and space, for breastfeeding mothers at work. Our Golden Latch Program was designed to make you successful.

What type of accommodations do I have to provide nursing employees?

“Reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child for 1 year after the child’s birth each time such employee has need to express the milk” — U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, Section 7(r) of the Fair Labor Standards Act — Break Time for Nursing Mothers Provision

What space accommodations do I have to provide nursing employees?

“A place other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk” — U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, Section 7(r) of the Fair Labor Standards Act — Break Time for Nursing Mothers Provision

Our business is very small and has no extra space. How can we comply with the federal regulations?

Even businesses with very little space can support a mother’s breastfeeding goals and comply with federal regulations under FLSA. A functional space is usually large enough for a chair and a flat surface for the mother’s breast pump. Flexible and temporary options, such as allowing the employee to use a manager’s office or screening off a small area, often work well. Some companies even partner with neighboring businesses to share lactation space for nursing moms. Learn more about space solutions.
