Both federal and state laws govern wages and hours. Federal law doesn't require meal breaks, but Illinois law does. If you work at least 7.5 hours a day, it entitles you to a 20 minute meal period.

New meal and rest break requirements: Requires employees be given a 20-minute break if working a 12-hour shift or longer, and at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in every consecutive 7-day period, clarifying the day of rest requirements for workers whose schedules don't align with a Sunday to Saturday calendar week.
