Employers have the discretion to establish their vacation policies. Arizona is one of the few states that allow “Use-it-or-lose-it” policies. However, if vacation leave is offered, employees must be provided a reasonable opportunity to use it.
There is no federal law or Arizona state law that says employers must provide breaks and lunches. There are mandatory break and lunch period laws in some other states, but not Arizona.
How many breaks in an 8-hour shift in South Carolina? No break requirement is in place for employees in South Carolina.
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.
Depends on your employer. Some will roll over the days, some will cut you a check at the end of the year for unused days, some employers simply reset your vacation day counter and you lose them.
Rollover. Arizona permits the “Use-It-or-Lose-It” policy, which allows employers to require employees to use their vacation time by a specific date or forfeit it. This policy must ensure that employees have reasonable time to use their vacation leave.
There is no requirement under South Carolina law for an employer to provide employees with breaks or a lunch period.
No. Federal law does not require a lunch break. So if a company gave you 3 10 minute breaks a day that would be compensable. A 30 minute lunch would be non compensable. I would quit any company that didn't allow at least a 30 minute lunch break.
In the US it varies by state. There is no federal law that requires an employer to give you any breaks. Federal law only states guidelines for IF they give you a break. Most states have no laws either (although a few do). So this means, yep, an employer can make you work any number of hours with no break.
