Employees must be allowed a meal period when they work more than five hours in a shift. A meal period must be at least 30 minutes long and start between the second and fifth hour of the shift.

An eight-hour workday is a standardized work schedule in which an employee works for 8 hours per day. An employee who works an eight-hour workday will often work five days a week with two days off. This is sometimes known as a full-time job or working a 9-5, which means working 8 hours a day between 9 am and 5 pm.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require an employer to provide meal periods or rest breaks for their employees. Many employers, however, do provide breaks and/or meal periods. Breaks of short duration, from 5 to 20 minutes, are common.

Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks.

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.
