Breaks and Lunches

Breaks should not be taken during the first 2 hours or last 2 hours of your shift.

**Example schedule of 9am-5:30pm. First 10 min break is 11am and last 10 min break should be between 3pm-3:30pm.**

Break time is not scheduled at this time.  Breaks should not be taken or used all at once.  Because of our business needs, breaks should not exceed more than 10 minutes at a given time.

Working 4 hours – 10 minute break

Working 6 hours – 20 minutes total break

Working 7 hours – 20 minutes total break

Working 7 ½ hours – 20 minutes total break with a 30 minute unpaid lunch break

Working 8 or more - 20 minutes total break and 30 minute unpaid lunch---Your total time should be 50 minutes. You should not be going over 50 minutes.

We now have the “restroom” break code in Singlecomm; please make sure you are using that only for your restroom (AKA BIO) break. That is not to be used to make coffee, have a cigarette, warm up your lunch, etc…

You are given a 1st 10 minute break as well as a 2nd 10 minute break for the other stuff and then you also have your 30min lunch break.
