Break Time Break time must be counted as work time where the breaks are 15-20 minutes or less. Employers must count these break times as "hours worked" and must pay for the time. Employers may not add the break times together and take a deduction from work time for this total time. For example, an employee who works from 9:00 to 5:30 (with a 30 minute lunch which can be deducted) and who gets two 15 minute breaks cannot add the two 15 minute breaks together and say the employee only gets paid for 7.5 hours that day. Because breaks of short duration are considered as "work time," the employee should get paid his/her full 8 hours for that day. |
