My work doesn't allow breaks and it's hard when you work a 6-2 shift with not even 15 minutes?

Question

Is this legal? If not, who should I contact?

Answer 1

Federal labor law does not require a break if you are over 18. Period. State laws vary; many do NOT have a manditory break law. Check the department of labor homepage for your state. or post where you live.

Talk to the NLRB office

Answer 2

Nope, COMPLETELY illegal.  Go to Google and search "work guidelines in the state of ______" and it should pop up.  Then contact either the corporate office, or a lawyer.

Answer 3

I know that if you work in either Brittan or the U.S.A.

its NOT legal and you should look up your local

Labor relations board and file a complaint!

BTW: what is the name of the company that you work for?

Answer 4

Contact your local labor department and complain to them not us.  We can't help you, but they can.  Thats just wrong.

Answer 5

It depends on which you work in, but most states (if not all) have labor laws in place that make providing a meal break with a minimum of 30 minutes during a full work day mandatory to employers.

Visiot your state Department of Labor website and look up employee labor rights. You should find your answer there.
