Neither the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) nor Georgia law require breaks or meal periods be given to workers. However, many employers do provide breaks and meal periods. Breaks of short duration (from 5 to 20 minutes) are common.
Georgia is an “at-will” state, which means that an employer may terminate an employee for any reason, other than one specifically illegal. There are not many laws in Georgia that allow an employee a wrongful termination claim. However, federal laws prohibit discrimination in the work place.
Georgia does not have specific laws mandating minimum shift lengths. Employers are not required to schedule employees for a minimum number of hours, and there are no state-mandated requirements for minimum shift time beyond what may be outlined in individual employment agreements or company policies.
