For an 8-hour work shift, employees are entitled to a minimum 20-minute uninterrupted break if they work more than six hours. The break should not be taken at the beginning or end of the shift, and employees must be allowed to take it away from their workstation.
Doesn't my employer have to give me a break? The state law requires employers to provide restroom time and sufficient time to eat a meal.
