Do employers have to allow employees break time?
Under some US state laws and most European labor laws, yes. But they are subject to various restrictions as to when and for how long. The US federal wage and hour laws do not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks as compensable work hours that would be included in the sum of hours worked during the work week. This is primarily considered in determining if overtime was worked. (Lunch breaks are not included in pay or in overtime calculation.)

For an eight hour shift, you are entitled to two ten minute breaks and a one hour lunch break. Publix vigorously enforces the law. State law may vary in your state, and Publix has certain employees in your district to make sure these laws are observed.
