An employer in the US should permit you to take a break, however there's no Federal law requiring that. Laws may vary somewhat in different states, and they may vary by the type of job you do. The break is normally 10 minutes for every 4 hours worked, but that also varies, depending on the state.

However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks as compensable work hours that would be included in the sum of hours worked during the workweek and considered in determining if overtime was worked.

Neither the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) nor Georgia law requires breaks or meal periods be given to workers. However, many employers do provide breaks and meal periods, even though discretionary with the employer. Breaks of short duration, from 5 to 20 minutes, are common.
