FAQ
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 working 6 or more consecutive hours must receive a 30-minute meal break.
6 hour is the longest you can work legally without a break ing to working regs.
In most states, breaks are required by law. The employer has to, by law, enforce that employees take those breaks. If they fail to do so, it opens them up to very expensive lawsuits. I recall a decade or two back, The Gap has a massive settlement in the state of California over employees working through breaks.
Michigan law doesn't have specific laws for meals and breaks. However, under federal law, meal breaks are mandatory only for employees who work more than five hours daily. The breaks should last at least 30 minutes at any point during the workday.
Presently, no OSHA standard to regulate extended and unusual shifts in the workplace exists. A work period of eight consecutive hours over five days with at least eight hours of rest in between shifts defines a standard shift. Any shift that goes beyond this standard is considered to be extended or unusual.
If your employer failed to provide those breaks, they may be violating Nevada's labor laws. You could consider discussing this with them or filing a complaint with the Nevada Labor Commissioner if you feel your rights have been violated.
Under Nevada law, employers are required to provide employees with a written work schedule at least seven days in advance for each workweek. If an employer wishes to change an employee's schedule, they are generally expected to adhere to this advance notice requirement.
Rest and meal break violations occur when employers fail to provide their employees with the legally required rest and meal breaks during their work shift. In Nevada, these breaks are mandated by state labor laws, and employers who violate them can face significant penalties and lawsuits.
In the state of Nevada, an employer shall not employ an employee for a continuous period of 8 hours without permitting the employee to have an uninterrupted meal period of at least 30 minutes.

Every nonexempt employee who has worked over five hours in a day is obligated to receive a meal break. Employers must provide a second meal break of no fewer than 30 minutes for all workdays on which an employee works more than 10 hours.Nevada law requires employers to give employees a 30-minute meal break if they will work for eight or more continuous hours. State law requires a paid 10 minute break every 4 hours of work and an unpaid 30 minute meal break every 5 hours of work. Federal law requires only that an employer pay for certain time, even if it is designated as a break. If an employee works through a time that is typically used for a break, such as a lunch break, they must be compensated for this time. Employers do not have to pay for bona fide meal breaks, during which the employee is relieved of all duties for the purpose of eating a meal. Employees earn a 45minute meal break for working over six hours and whose shift starts between pm and am. If and employee makes more than one and one half times minimum wage, the employee would be paid overtime for time worked over 40 hours in a week. It is important to follow your employer's rules about these quick breaks, however.
