Subject to this Article, breaks are scheduled at the supervisor's discretion. A. Employees shall be allowed one (1) rest period of fifteen (15) minutes duration for each scheduled work segment of four hours (or major part thereof). In so far as is practicable, the rest period shall be in the middle of each work segment, such time to begin when the employee leaves their work station and will end when the employee returns to their work station. Rest periods shall be granted without loss of pay. B. Employees assigned work periods of six (6) continuous hours or more shall be allowed unpaid meal periods which shall not be less than thirty (30) minutes, nor shall be more than one (1) hour in duration. Those employees specifically required to remain at their work site and perform work in lieu of a duty-free, unpaid meal period shall be paid for such time at their regular hourly rate of pay, unless this required non-duty-free meal period causes them to exceed forty (40) hours of work within their workweek in which case they shall be compensated as having worked overtime for all hours in excess of forty (40). Meal periods shall be scheduled by the employee's supervisor as close as possible to the middle of the shift. During continuous shift operations that prohibit employees from being duty free during their lunch break, employees shall take a half-hour lunch break as well as their agreed to 15-minute rest break before and after lunch without loss of pay. Employees who are required to work beyond the normal eight (8) or ten (10) hour workday, shall receive rest and meal periods at the same intervals as described in A and B above. C. The parties agree that the Fair Labor Standards Act requires that rest and lunch breaks may not be skipped or saved up in order to allow an employee leave work early or in any other manner modify their assigned work period. (See Article 24, Hours of Work, Section 1A(4) above.)
