Believe it or not, employers in many states have no legal obligation to give their employees any breaks during the work day. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require employers to provide any breaks, and many states follow the same rule. Other states require employers to provide rest breaks, meal breaks, or both.
A small number of states require employers to provide paid rest breaks during the work day.
In Minnesota, employees who work at least eight hours must be allowed to take sufficient time off, unpaid, to eat a meal.
In Minnesota, you are entitled to a paid rest break during every four hours you work consecutively to use the nearest convenient rest room.
