Rest
Breaks
Employees
are provided with adequate time when staffing requirements
permit, to use the nearest restroom. Since this time is paid
as time worked, employees should not extend the allotted
time away from their work areas.
Meal
Breaks
In addition, an unpaid meal break
of thirty (30) to sixty (60) minutes is provided to employees
who work six (6) or more hours a day. Employees who work ten
(10) or more hours a day are entitled to an additional thirty
(30) minute unpaid meal break. Employees who are relieved
of all active work responsibilities during the meal period
are not compensated for that time. If an employee is required
by their supervisor to remain at work during their meal
they will be paid for their meal break. Their supervisor must
initial the employee's
time sheet if this occurs.
Employees should see their supervisor
for the appropriate time for breaks to accommodate operating
requirements.
