Rest Breaks in Utah It is under the discretion of employers in Utah to provide a 15-minute compensated rest break for every 4 hours worked.
Utah employees also sue their employers for breach of an employment contract or under the public policy exception to the employment at-will doctrine.
Utah is an employment-at-will state, which means that without a written employee contract, employees can be terminated for any reason at any time, provided that the reason is not discriminatory and that the employer is not retaliating against the employee for a rightful action.
Utah state law defines wrongful termination as the dismissal or firing of an employee for an illegal reason, which may violate federal anti-discrimination laws or breach of contract.
In Utah, as in most states, employees work “at will,” which means they can generally be fired at any time and for any reason, or for no reason at all.
