Meal breaks lasting 30 minutes or longer can be unpaid, so long as employees don't work during that time. Employers are not required to give rest breaks. Employees who work between 6 and 8 hours are entitled to a 20-minute meal break. Employees who work for 8 or more hours are entitled to a 30-minute break.

Although work breaks are not legally mandated in Virginia, employers who choose to offer such breaks must follow certain guidelines. If an employer's policy includes breaks that are under 20 minutes in duration, those breaks must be compensated.
Your employer can require you to take your breaks at predetermined time. If refuse to do so, your employer can discipline or even terminate you.
