Question

How long can an employee work you with no break or lunch.?

Answer 1

I think it depends on the state. I do know that in my state you are required to have a break every four hours, and most places will give you a short break every two hours. My last job was hell and they often worked those of us in management for 9 hours with no break, or gave us only one break just an hour into the shift when it wasn't needed.

Answer 2

Depends upon the country in which employment is seeked. As in most countries, an employee can work for max 8 hours with 1 small break in middle. No employee can work more than 16 hours continuously per day. For women or children (above 14 and below 18), they cant work more than 12 hours per day.

Answer 3

An employer cannot work you more than 4 hours without a break. And, its 30 minutes for every 4 hours. This is federal law. Minors get more, though i don't recall the specifics. Check the Department of Labor website.

Answer 4

by federal law,you are entiltled to a break/lunch after 4 hours. most places give 2 -15 min breaks and 1/2 hour lunch. it depends. but you should at least get a 1/2 hour for lunch as required by law

Answer 5

Normally 4 hours but most conscientious employees would occasionally work for longer if there was a deadline to meet

Answer 6

depends on the country. in south africa you are allowed a one hour break per eight hour shift. however, an employer and employee may conclude an agreement other than this, but the employee must have at least a half hour break per eight hours.

Answer 7

All depends on the State and/Country you are in. For example in NYS a minimum of 30 minutes is to be given after 6 consecutive hours of work. Alot of us would be more helpful if we knew what State or Country you are in.

Answer 8

I've worked 13 hours straight with no break before... I think the only laws there are about breaks is that they're mandatory for minors

Answer 9

at my paintings it relies upon how long yu paintings as to how long your lunch is. to any extent further than approximately 8 hours i'm getting an hour, yet my aunt in elementary terms gets 30 minutes. it relies upon the place you paintings and what you do. in my previous activity i did no longer get lunch breaks, i in basic terms had to consume immediately if i ought to extra healthful it in.

Answer 10

if your working more than 6hrs,then you HAVE to have a minimum of 20 mins,taken during the shift,not before or at the end. I don't think part-time as the same protection though
