Breaks and Meal Periods. Deviation from Regulations
Breaks and Meal Periods. Employees are entitled to take breaks daily which insofar as practicable shall be in the middle of each work period. No wage deduction shall be made for such breaks. Breaks for employees working an eight (8) hour shift shall be computed on the basis of fifteen (15) minutes during each half of their work shift. Breaks for employees working a ten (10) hour shift shall be computed on the basis of twenty (20) minutes during each half of their work shift. Breaks for employees working a twelve (12) hour shift shall be computed on the basis of fifteen (15) minutes three (3) times during each shift. Employees are required to remain in the facility during breaks. Two (2) breaks may be combined in the event that workload or scheduling conflicts prevent an employee from taking his/her break as provided for above. Arrangements to combine breaks shall be made by mutual consent between the employee and his/her supervisor and shall be consistent with staffing needs. This language shall not serve to reduce a more liberal practice now in existence. Employees scheduled to work more than five (5) hours per day shall be entitled to a thirty (30) minute meal period at, as near as practical, the middle of the workday. Except as provided below, meal periods shall be on an unpaid basis. In the event an employee is called back to work during a scheduled meal period, the scheduled meal period, not to exceed thirty (30) minutes, shall count as hours worked and the meal period shall be rescheduled within two (2) hours.
Breaks and Meal Periods. Any break time during each eight (8) hour shift shall be in two (2) fifteen (15) minute intervals and one (1) thirty (30) minute break. When taken, there shall be one (1) fifteen (15) minute break in the first half of the employees' shift and the other fifteen (15) minute break in the employees' second half of their shift. Breaks shall not interfere with an employee's complaint load and the opportunity to take a break is contingent upon there being available time, given the employee's complaint load. Work breaks not taken shall not accumulate.
Breaks and Meal Periods. During a normal work shift of up to twelve (12) hours, an employee will be allowed one fifteen (15)-minute paid break in each half of the shift. Employees shall be allowed a one half (½)-hour unpaid meal period which shall commence no less than two (2) hours nor more than five (5) hours from the beginning of a regular shift. For a regular shift of ten (10) to twelve (12) hours, the meal period may commence up to six (6) hours into the shift. If an employee is required to work through the scheduled meal period and there is inability to reschedule the meal period during the shift, all hours worked shall be compensated. During overtime hours, employees will be allowed an unpaid one-half (½)-hour meal period, as the work will allow as determined by the supervisor, within the first three (3) hours of the overtime. Should the employees be required by the City to remain at the work site to consume a meal, the meal period shall be paid for the same as the overtime hours. Meal periods of one-half- (½)-hour shall continue to be provided within each successive four (4) hours of overtime. Employees who are required to work a second shift after completion of their regular shift shall be allowed breaks and meal periods as normally scheduled for the shift. As an alternative, the employee may, within the first two (2) hours of the second shift, request and be granted one-half- (½)-hour meal period in lieu of the first break. If the request is granted, the employee will then be allowed only one (1) other break later in the shift. Employees who are scheduled to work an overtime shift on a normal day off shall be allowed breaks and a meal period as allowed for a regular shift.
