FAQ
Are Meal and Rest Breaks Required Under Federal or North Carolina Labor Laws? North Carolina law does not require mandatory meal breaks or rest breaks for employees who are age 16 or older. Employees who are under the age of 16 must receive a meal break of at least 30 minutes after five hours of work.
Indiana employers aren't require to offer meal breaks or rest breaks. Although some Indiana employers provide meal or rest breaks, you might be surprised to learn that federal law doesn't give employees the right to time off to eat lunch (or another meal) or the right to take short breaks during the work day.
Employers are required to provide their employees that work six or more hours with the minimum of a twenty minute meal/break period unless the employee is already being provided a lunch or break period, or is allowed to eat while working.
No. If you would need to refuse a break, either the break is a legal requirement or part of company policy (so refusal would be a fireable offense). In many situations, such refusal creates liability issues for the employer.
Your employer can require you to take your breaks at predetermined time. If refuse to do so, your employer can discipline or even terminate you. However, if your employer is only enforcing the rule against you, but not other employees, it raises potential issues of discrimination or wrongful termination.
Overview of Law New York requires that employers provide employees meal periods as follows: Employees are entitled to a 30-minute break between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for shifts that cover that time span and are more than 6 consecutive hours.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has neither researched nor issued standards requiring that workers be permitted lunch and rest breaks in the course of their workday.
The simple answer is no your employer can not control how you spend your time off the clock. In short, without probing into the attendant circumstances, it would be difficult to give you any real analysis. As such, I suggest you seek a consultation with an employment attorney for more particularized advice.
Youths under 16 years of age have to be given at least a 30-minute break after 5 hours, and no break of less than 30 minutes shall be deemed to interrupt a continuous period of work. Again, there are no required rest breaks or meal breaks at all for employees 16 years of age or older.
Rest breaks must also be spaced out so that they fall in the middle of each work period. This means if employees work 8 hour shifts, they should have one rest break before their meal break and the second rest break afterwards.
