Hormones. are secreted from the glands of the endocrine system, they are specific in that each hormone causes a response in a specific target organ or group of cells, rather than on the body as a whole. Exocrine hormones are secreted via a duct into the blood and usually effect a distant organ or tissue.he Endocrine system (along with the nervous system) controls and regulates the complex activities of the body. The Endocrine system regulates the activities of the body by secreting complex chemical substances (hormones) into the blood stream.
Federal Laws. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require employers to provide meal or extended rest breaks. Less than half of U.S. states require companies to provide a meal or rest break. In many of these states, workers who work over 6 hours at once must be allowed 30 minutes to eat or rest.
Pennsylvania law requires that minors ages 14 to 17 must be given a meal or rest period of at least 30 minutes if they have worked five hours or more continuously. Although Pennsylvania does not have a lunch and break law for those persons 18 and over, there are applicable federal rules for Pennsylvania residents. While Federal Law does not mandate specific breaks or meal periods, it does give guidance as to whether or not an employee should be paid during these times.
