Many states, including the one I live in, do not mandate breaks for workers over the age of 18 (16 in some states). Check your employee handbook for your company's policy on breaks or visit your state's labor board website.

The employer may give you 20 minutes, 30 minutes or whatever he wants. Find out what it is, before you sign the dotted line. if you don't like it, get another job. It's been my estimate, that most employees get a lot of time to goof off, take smoke breaks, bathroom breaks and eat while they are doing their jobs. No one works all day without a break!

frequently, no. some state mandate a 30 minute wreck once you artwork lots of hours in a row. The wreck could be unpaid. For something of you, in the adventure that your organization mandates a 30 minute wreck additionally they'll have regulations against substituting it for going domicile early. Your interest needs you there while it needs you there. they don't frequently make exceptions on breaks. you are able to unquestionably ask, yet don't be shocked in case you get shot down and instructed to take your breaks once you're meant to take them for the completed time.
