What does the law say about coffee breaks?
An employee must not work for more than five hours in a row without getting a 30-minute eating period (meal break) free from work.
The law does not require an employer to provide any breaks in addition to this eating period.
However, if the employer does provide another type of a break, such as a coffee break, and the employee must remain at his or her workplace during the break, the employee must be paid at least the minimum wage for that time.
