Even if you have a waffle iron it seems that people donât make them very often and I think I know why. If you are a family of four, letâs say, thereâs a lot of down time while one poor waffle iron is trying to keep up with everyoneâs appetite.
Florida law requires that minors under age 18 must be given an uninterrupted meal or rest period of at least 30 minutes for each four hours they have continuously worked. Although Florida does not have a lunch and break law for those persons 18 and over, there are applicable federal rules for Florida citizens.
However, the employee and the employer can agree to waive the meal period if the employee works no more than 6 hours in one day. Employees who work more than 6 hours in one day may not waive their meal breaks. The 30 minute meal break must be a full 30 minutes -- not 29 minutes -- and must be completely free from duty. These 30 minutes must be ânet.â They cannot include time spent walking to a time clock; the 30 minutes must be actual break time.
