Rest Period

Rest periods are considered hours worked. Work schedules provide for one paid 15-minute rest period for each consecutive four hours worked. There is no compensation for rest periods not taken. If conditions warrant, employees may be asked to work through the normally scheduled rest period. Rest periods may not be "saved" to shorten the employee's workday, to extend lunch breaks, or to alter the work schedule in any way. Rest periods not taken will be forfeited.
