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, based on common practice, many employers provide their employees with a rest or lunch break, whether paid or unpaid. What State Laws are Available for Meal and Rest Breaks? Currently, fewer than half the states require employers to give a meal break. In states where meal breaks are required, employees are given a half hour meal break after working more than five or six hours at a time. If you have to work while eating, then you have the right to be paid for that time.
