What do I do if my boss doesn't give me a break?

If HR won't help you, go to your local labor board and report them. And if you do go to your local labor board, talk to a lawyer and let them know what's going on. Also, try and take your 30-minute breaks to show that you're following the law or at least trying to. Plus, it'll give you more evidence against your boss.

Yes, you can bring a legal claim associated with the employer not providing you with a reasonable opportunity to take your meal or rest periods.

Massachusetts Break Room Requirements There is no law in effect that requires an employer to provide a break room for employees.

No, Massachusetts only requires employers to provide 30-minute meal break for shifts over six hours. Although the 15-minute break is not mandated by Massachusetts law, employers have the discretion to offer such break period to their employees as part of their company practice.

Unemployment Insurance Notice: Massachusetts employers should provide terminated employees with detailed information about unemployment insurance benefits and how to access them.

In most states, breaks are required by law. The employer has to, by law, enforce that employees take those breaks. If they fail to do so, it opens them up to very expensive lawsuits. I recall a decade or two back, The Gap has a massive settlement in the state of California over employees working through breaks.

Does my employer have to give me two 15-minute breaks per day? MGL c. 149, § 100 requires a 30 minute lunch period during shifts longer than six hours, but does not require breaks.

More info

Most employers in Massachusetts must allow eligible workers to take meal breaks or be absent from work for certain reasons. "Employers may require workers to take their meal breaks." Also includes information on employment leave and vacation time. Most Massachusetts employers must allow employees to take a 30-minute meal break, if they will work for more than six hours. This time is unpaid. A violation of section 100 occurs each time that the employee is required to work in excess of six hours without at least a thirty minute meal break. Meal Breaks: Employees who work more than six hours in a calendar day are entitled to a 30-minute meal break. This means employees work through break based on there NOT being an option to take one. Signing a waiver won't hold up. Workers have a right to at least a 30minute meal break or each 6 hours worked in a calendar day.
