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.
A second meal period is required if an employee works more than ten (10) hours per day unless the work period is less than twelve (12) hours, then the second meal period may be waived by mutual consent. Meal periods are not required to be paid, providing that the meal period is âduty-freeâ. For a meal period to be âduty-freeâ the employer cannot require that an employee perform any duties while on a meal break.
