Ohio law and federal law do not require that an employer provide any breaks (except for minors) for any duration. So what does that mean for short breaks such as cigarette breaks, coffee breaks, or rest breaks? Breaks of a short duration, running from 5 minutes to about 20 minutes, are common in the work place.
Unless you are a part of a union or other such collective agreement, you and your coworkers have the right to openly discuss your salaries and benefits. What if your employer is doing something you don't like? Can you vent about it online? Yes!
