Guam Break Policy: According to the Guam Department of Labor, employees are entitled to a specified number of breaks based on their length of work. This policy ensures that employees are granted adequate time to rest, relax, and recharge, thus contributing to a healthier work environment. 1.

During this break, employees are free to leave the premises and utilize this time as they please, ensuring they return to work promptly. 2.

Rest breaks should not exceed 15 minutes and employees should remain on the premises during this time. 3.

We will evaluate the situation on a case-by-case basis and provide reasonable accommodations wherever possible.
