FAQ
Yes, you can bring a legal claim associated with the employer not providing you with a reasonable opportunity to take your meal or rest periods.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has neither researched nor issued standards requiring that workers be permitted lunch and rest breaks in the course of their workday.
FL doesn't require employers to provide a lunch break for employees over the age of 18. If you're in a union, that might change things, but it's not required at the state level. I'm in a union and have to take one, unpaid, for any 8 hour shift.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has neither researched nor issued standards requiring that workers be permitted lunch and rest breaks in the course of their workday.
The law does not provide employees with an explicit entitlement to a meal period. Each agency has the authority to establish its own requirements for meal periods. An agency may require or permit unpaid meal periods during overtime hours, and the policy may be different from the one for the basic workweek.
Comments Section Yes, an employer can require you to take a lunch break. Many believe employees are more productive when they get a break to unwind in the middle of the day. If you refuse to take a break and work through lunch, you can be legally terminated.
Many employers voluntarily offer meal breaks in recognition that it is important for their employee's health and productivity to be given time to eat. There is, however, no legal requirement to provide a workday meal break in Florida, except for employees age 17 or younger.
