Important Information to Know About Breaks
Breaks or rest periods are not authorized by federal law, state
statute or administrative regulations. Therefore, granting breaks
is not an employer obligation, nor receiving breaks an employee
right. Employees of the department may be granted breaks or rest
periods of 20 minutes per four hours of work if such periods do
not disrupt the normal operation or efficiency of the employee’s
work unit. Time spent on break is not cumulative, cannot be used
for leaving early if not taken during the work period and is not
compensable if not taken. Administrators are responsible for developing
policies for the management of breaks or rest periods consistent
with the function of their operations.
