Must an employer give meal periods and "breaks" to workers?
Yes - to employees who work a shift of more than six (6) hours starting before 11 am AND continue working until at least 2 pm. Such employees must have an uninterrupted lunch period of at least one half hour (30 min) between 11 am and 1 pm.
Meal periods do not count as work time, thus employers need not pay for that time. Employers do not have to provide other "breaks", such as for "rest periods" or "coffee breaks". But, if an employer permits a break (of up to 20 minutes), then they should pay it as work time.
