Laws – Unpaid Breaks

You work hard, so we want to make sure we take care of you, we also have guests to serve and we want to make sure we take care of them too. Your manager typically will set a break schedule prior to each shift change. Every state has a different break law, so please click on the state you work in to find out which law applies to you. If no state law exists, Federal law dictates that if you take a break for 20 minutes or longer, it’s unpaid.
