FAQ
The state of Florida has no daily work hours limit, so employees can work as much as they want. However, if an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek, they are entitled to overtime compensation — unless they are exempt.
It is not legal in the US per OSHA regulations for an employer to work an employee 8 hours without a scheduled break. In fact, the OSHA rules are to be posted in every break room.
Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks.
In the Sunshine State, there is no requirement for an employer to provide a meal period or rest break to its employees aged 18 or older. Instead, employers must adhere to the requirements of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which also does not mandate a meal or rest break.
There is no state or federal law applicable in Florida requiring employees to be given any breaks.

In Illinois, a shift lasting 7.5 hours or more entitles employees to a meal break of 20 minutes. The meal break must be taken not more than five hours after the employee has initiated work. If an employee works for more than 10 hours, they are entitled to two meal breaks, with a minimum of 20 minutes each.
Meal and rest breaks are not mandatory for adult workers in Florida. However, minor aged employees are provided a 30-minute meal break after four hours of work.

An employer may not force an employee to work through a meal break. Employees must be afforded reasonable bathroom breaks.If an employee works 12 hours or more in one day, they're entitled to two meal breaks. Leaves of absence in Illinois. Illinois employers must provide a meal break to employees who work at least seven and a half continuous hours. This break must be at least 20 minutes long. For every 7.5 hours worked, Illinois state law allows one meal break to be taken no later than 5 hours from the start of the shift. The law now requires employers to provide an additional 20 minute meal period to employees working 12 or more hours in a shift.
