[Your Name] [Your Title] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Employee Name] [Employee Title] [Employee Department] [Employee Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Directive — Break Policy Dear [Employee Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of the updated break policy that will be implemented company-wide, effective immediately. This directive is aimed at streamlining break schedules and ensuring that employees are provided with adequate rest and rejuvenation during work hours, in compliance with Nevada state labor regulations. [Company Name] understands the importance of ensuring a healthy work-life balance for our employees. As such, we strive to maintain policies that align with the regulations set forth by the Nevada labor laws. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with an overview of the revised break policy and its requirements. Effective immediately, the updated Nevada break policy consists of the following key points: 1. Break Duration and Frequency: a) An unpaid meal break of at least 30 minutes will be provided to employees who work shifts lasting longer than 8 hours. This break must be taken no later than 5 hours into the shift and is to be uninterrupted. b) Two paid rest breaks of 10 minutes each will be granted to employees who work shifts lasting longer than 3.5 hours. These breaks are to be taken as close to the middle of the shift as operationally feasible. 2. Break Scheduling: a) The assigned supervisor will determine the specific times for the rest breaks based on operational needs. However, every effort will be made to accommodate employee preferences, taking into account operational feasibility. b) The meal break will be scheduled in consultation with the employee, ensuring it falls within the mandatory time frame and does not disrupt the workflow. 3. Record-Keeping: a) Employees must accurately record their break times using the [Designated Timekeeping System]. Managers will regularly review these entries to ensure compliance with the break policy. b) Failure to accurately record breaks or failure to take scheduled breaks may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination, as required by Nevada labor laws. It is essential that all employees comply with the break policy for both their own well-being and to ensure compliance with Nevada state labor regulations. Failure to comply with the policy may result in severe consequences. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this directive, please do not hesitate to reach out to your immediate supervisor or the Human Resources department. We are here to support you throughout the transition and ensure your understanding and compliance with the updated break policy. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to upholding [Company Name]'s values. We appreciate your dedication to our organization and the contributions you make to our success. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title] [Company Name]
