Selected Answer: 

According to California Labor

According to California Labor Code Section 1030, your employer must provide you with a break and provide a private place for you to pump. However, the law is unclear how private the room must be, and in some situations an empty break room with a lock on the door may be adequate. In addition, if several employees are breastfeeding at your work, you should be able to alternate schedules so that you will not have to pump in each other’s presence. If your employer is in violation of the statue, you should report the violation to the California Labor Commission. Your employer may then be subjected to a civil penalty of up to $100 for each violation.
