Workers have a right to at least a 30minute meal break or each 6 hours worked in a calendar day. There is no law requiring an employer to provide breaks, including lunch breaks.Minors under 18 must receive a 30 minute break for every 5 hours of work. For example, California requires one paid 10minute rest period for every 4 hours worked. You cannot employ someone for a work period of more than five hours without providing an unpaid, off-duty meal period of at least 30 minutes. Our ESS unit handles an array of employment issues, including, but not limited to, enforcement of laws concerning wages and time off. If you are working fewer than 7.5 hours, no lunch break is required. When employers do offer short breaks, usually lasting between five to 20 minutes, the breaks must be considered work time and employees are paid for the time. Maryland law does require that employees 17 and younger must be given a meal or rest period of at least 30 minutes if they have worked for five hours or more. Additionally, if you work 8 hours, you are entitled to a lunch break, but not necessarily on the clock.
