Sample Letter for Directive - Break Policy [Your Name] [Your Position] [Your Company] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Date] [Employee's Name] [Employee's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Directive — Break Policy Dear [Employee's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. It has come to our attention that there have been several instances where employees have been taking breaks which exceed the allocated break time as per our company's break policy. In order to ensure fair treatment and maintain a consistent work environment, we are issuing this directive to clarify our break policy and its implications. As you know, breaks are an essential part of our workday as they allow employees to recharge and maintain productivity levels. Our break policy clearly outlines the duration and timing of breaks, which have been designed to ensure both employee well-being and organizational efficiency. Effective immediately, all employees are expected to strictly adhere to the following break policy guidelines: Break Duration: — One 15-minute paid break for every consecutive four hours worked. — One 30-minute unpaid lunch break for every eight hours worked. — Overtime hours will be considered for break entitlement purposes. Break Timing: — Paid breaks should be taken within the middle of each consecutive four-hour work period. — Unpaid lunch breaks should be taken no later than the end of the sixth hour of work. Expected Responsibilities: — Employees are required to clock-in and clock-out when taking breaks to maintain accurate timekeeping records. — It is important to respect the timing guidelines to prevent interruptions in workflow and ensure equitable distribution of breaks among employees. — If, due to unforeseen circumstances, an employee is unable to take a break as scheduled, they must report it to their supervisor and make alternative arrangements to ensure efficient workflow continuity. Consequences for Non-Compliance: — Failure to adhere to the break policy guidelines may result in disciplinary action, including verbal or written warnings, and in severe cases, termination of employment. — Repeated violations of the policy may result in further disciplinary measures, including loss of privileges or reassignment. We kindly request your cooperation in abiding by the updated break policy. If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to your supervisor or the HR department. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we appreciate your commitment to maintaining a productive work environment. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Position] [Your Company]
