Indiana employers aren't require to offer meal breaks or rest breaks. Although some Indiana employers provide meal or rest breaks, you might be surprised to learn that federal law doesn't give employees the right to time off to eat lunch (or another meal) or the right to take short breaks during the work day.
Yes. Your employer determines your work hours. If he says to take an hour lunch, you take an hour lunch. The law does not allow him to give you less than the state law, but it allows him to require more. He could require that you take an hour lunch even in states where no lunch is required at all.
