What the Colorado Labor Laws Say About Meal Periods. The state basically says that employees do have a right to what the state considers to be an uninterrupted and duty-free meal period of at least 30 minutes once five consecutive hours have been worked in a shift.
What about meal and rest breaks? Fourteen-and 15-year-old workers may not work more than four hours without a 30-minute uninterrupted meal period. The meal period must be separate from, and in addition to rest breaks. These minors must be provided a paid rest break of at least 10 minutes for every two hours worked.
