FAQ
If an employee works 8 or more consecutive hours, the employer must provide a 30-minute meal break and an additional 15 minute break for every additional 4 consecutive hours worked.
1. When an employee works less than 6 consecutive hours, the break can be waived under a mutual agreement between the employee and employer. The agreement must be in writing, and the employee can withdraw permission at any time. The law does not permit breaks to be waived on a shift of 6 hours or more.
In Maryland, employees work "at the will" of their employers. This means, in the absence of an express contract, agreement or policy to the contrary, an employee may be hired or fired for almost any reason -- whether fair or not -- or for no reason at all.
Alternative Work-Week Schedule. Regular, non-health care employees, are permitted, in California, to work four 10-hour shifts as a regular schedule. These employees will not earn daily overtime for those first 10 hours. This means that employees and employers can come to an agreement to create an alternative workweek.
For adult employees, there is no legal limit to the number of hours that one can work per week, but the Fair Labor Standards Act dictates standards for overtime pay in both the private and public sector.
In 2022, Maryland minimum wage for businesses with 15 employees or more is $12.50, and for businesses with 14 employees or fewer is $12.20. Some Maryland counties, however, have different hourly minimum wages.
You shouldn't have to work more than an average of 8 hours in each 24-hour period, averaged out over 17 weeks. You can work more than 8 hours a day as long as the average over 17 weeks is no more than 8. Your employer can't ask you to opt out of this limit.
There is no limit to the number of hours an adult employee can work under Maryland or federal law. As long as there is no employment contract or company policy in place that states otherwise, an employer can set an employee's minimum and maximum hours and change them at any time at her or his sole discretion.
