Generally, a meal period of not less than 30 minutes should be provided if the employee works more than 5 hours per day unless the total work period per day of the employee is no more than 6 hours. Usually, meal breaks are not paid but if the employee is not relieved of all duty during the 30 minute meal period, it shall be considered an "on duty" meal period which should be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay.

Yes after four and a half hours. If you want to learn more look up Ocea's laws.
