State Laws. Federal law does not require breaks and meal periods, but virtually all of the states have labor laws that contain provisions for mandatory rest periods for breaks and meals, making it unlawful to require that employees work a straight shift of eight hours. The state laws vary. For example, California employers are required to give employees a 30-minute meal break after five hours of work, unless the employee's shift is only six hours. In New York, the state law requires a one-hour break during the middle of the day, or around noon, for factory workers.
