Thank you. So, under the Employment Standards Act. employes must be provided ith one 30-minute break from work every 5 hours of work. That's non-negotiable unless the employee specifically waives their right to that break.
No, not in most places in the United States. Labor law requires that you take a break, and your employer can face heavy fines if you are caught not taking that break.
Generally speaking, yes an employer may require that their employees take breaks, even if they are not required to provide them under the law; there is nothing in the law that would prevent them from doing so.
There is no federal law or Arizona state law that says employers must provide breaks and lunches. There are mandatory break and lunch period laws in some other states, but not Arizona.
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.
It does not need to be requested by the employee. This case clearly shows that the onus is on employers to ensure rest breaks are provided during a working day of six hours or more. Of course, the reality is that some employees will choose to work through their breaks – and they can't be forced to take them.
Generally speaking, yes an employer may require that their employees take breaks, even if they are not required to provide them under the law; there is nothing in the law that would prevent them from doing so.
No. The only break mandated by law is an unpaid lunch break of at least 30 minutes, and it must be provided after five hours on the job.
There are no state-imposed scheduling notice requirements in Arizona. Employers are not required by law to provide advance notice of work schedules or changes unless it is specified in an employment contract or company policy.
