Are employers required by any law to give a break every 4 hours or a lunch break?

Answer 1

After 4 hours you get a 10 minute break and after 5 hours you get a 30 minute lunch break. At least in CA.

If your scheduled shift is 4 hours, the employer is not required to give you a break. IF your shift is 4 1/2 hours, then yes, you get a 10 minute break.

Answer 2

Depends on what state you live in. Some states are required to give you a 15 minute break for each 4 hours worked. They are also required to give you a 30 minute lunch break. That doesn't mean you have to take it if you don't want to and suck up to the boss. It's refreshing for employees to take breaks and then want to come back to work with a refreshed mind.

Answer 3

Under Federal regulations, breaks are NOT required. (here is the link) http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/workhours/breaks.htm however state laws vary and most follow federal regulations. CA is one state that does provide for a 30 min break after 5 hours, however if the employee is scheduled only for 6 hours, the employee and employer can agree to waive this requirement. (CA labor code section 512)

Answer 4

If you work an 8 hour day you are intitled to 2 - 15min. breaks and 30min, for lunch. Most employers know the rules. If they aren't obeying them, you should report it. You might get fired, but then maybe it isn't a good place to work anyway. They might be breaking other laws also. Most places have the rules posted in their back room. I think they are required to do that too.

Answer 5

Yes a break is required after four hours, and a lunch break is mandatory after 6 hours Federal law

Answer 6

If you are an hourly employee, I believe all states except California require a lunch break within 6 hours. California is only 5 if I'm not mistaken.

Answer 7

i assume you're asking if below Pennsylvania regulation, does your organization ought to offer you a fifteen minute harm each and every 4 hours? in accordance to the published thread, there's no longer a regulation requiring employers to grant workers over 18 a lunch harm. in the event that they do, and the wear and tear is over 20 minutes, you ought to be paid for it. The thread additionally hyperlinks to the Pennsylvania branch of exertions and industry.
