Unless state or local law requires otherwise, employees will be provided with meal and rest breaks as appropriate, subject to operational needs. Rest breaks of short duration (lasting less than 20 minutes) will be counted as "hours worked" and paid accordingly. Meal breaks lasting 30 minutes or more are not considered "hours worked" for purposes of federal law and will not be paid for nonexempt employees. Non-exempt employees must be completely relieved from work duties during any unpaid meal breaks. If a meal period is interrupted, employees must notify their supervisor and/or Payroll to ensure the meal break is paid accordingly.
Employees must comply with all timekeeping requirements, including recording the beginning and end times of their meal breaks each day.
