FAQ
Not in the US per federal employment law. There is no federal law requirement that you be given a break. Though breaks also have state laws to comply with and there are 50 different sets of state laws. I'm not going to go through all of them for your question.
Employees must be allowed a meal period when they work more than five hours in a shift. A meal period must be at least 30 minutes long and start between the second and fifth hour of the shift.
It is not legal in the US per OSHA regulations for an employer to work an employee 8 hours without a scheduled break. In fact, the OSHA rules are to be posted in every break room.
How many breaks in an 8-hour shift in Michigan? Minor employees would receive one 30-minute break during an 8-hour shift. No requirement is in place for adult employees.
CA law specifically requires lunch breaks for employees that work over five hours on the shift. However, an employee and employer must agree to a waiver of the lunch break.
Tennessee Law Requires Meal Breaks Tennessee law requires employers to provide a meal break, but no rest breaks. In Tennessee, employers must provide a 30-minute break to employees who are scheduled to work at least six consecutive hours. This break may be unpaid.
Most places consider 9-5 to be 8 hours (lunch and coffee breaks count towards the total).
Instead, employers must adhere to the requirements of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which also does not mandate a meal or rest break. Thus, in New Jersey, an adult employee does not have a legal right to meal periods or breaks.
Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks.
Meal Break Obligations In California. You cannot employ someone for a work period of more than five hours without providing an unpaid, off-duty meal period of at least 30 minutes. The first meal period must be provided no later than the end of the employee's fifth hour of work.
