FAQ

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.

While an automatic meal deduction policy does not violate the law, employees must be entitled to have an uninterrupted meal break in order for the deduction to be legal.

How many breaks in an 8-hour shift in Ohio? Minor employees would receive one 30-minute break during an 8-hour shift. No break requirement is in effect for employees ages 18 and over.

Trust me, this is a very common question and many like you are surprised that there is no federal law requiring that employees be given breaks in the United States. An employer has the right to make you work 12 hours without a break or even 16 hours.

Ohio Scheduling Notice Law There is no specific law in Ohio that requires employers to provide advance notice of work schedules. Unlike some states that have enacted predictive scheduling laws requiring a minimum notice period (such as 7 or 14 days), Ohio does not impose such requirements.

Ohio law and federal law do not require that an employer provide any breaks (except for minors) for any duration.

(e) All employees employed to work forty hours per week on a routine eight and one-half hour shift must take a thirty-minute unpaid lunch break in which they do not perform any work. It is preferred that employees not eat lunch at their work station.

As long as the employee is actually receiving the full meal break, these types of “automatic deduction” policies are not in and of themselves illegal. However, these policies are often not correctly implemented, and the employees suffer the consequences.

Under Ohio law, there is no requirement for an employer to provide a meal period or rest break to its adult employees age 18 or older. Two fifteen-minute paid rest periods are permitted during each full eight-hour shift.Workers have a right to at least a 30minute meal break or each 6 hours worked in a calendar day. In Ohio, no law gives employees the right to time off to eat lunch (or another meal) or the right to take short breaks during the work day. Ohio law requires that minors under age 18 be given a 30 minute meal break if they have worked five hours or more. The meal break may be an unpaid break. The shortest answer to the question posed is, "No, Ohio labor laws do not require employers to give breaks to the overwhelming majority of employees." No state law requiring private sector employers to provide meal breaks for adult employees over 18 years old. All supervisors must provide the opportunity for their employees to take a fifteen-minute break in the morning and in the afternoon. Ohio law requires employers to provide employees under the age of 18 years a 30-minute uninterrupted break when working more than five consecutive hours.
