Civil penalties may be up to $55,000 for a first violation or $110,000 for each subsequent violation and they may be open to lawsuits and punitive penalties. There are limitations to company liability based on size and other qualities. However, in many cases the disabled person has no recourse but to quit rather than to endure the costs of legal action or loss of livelihood. Large companies can string out legal cases for years.

What kind of case is it when someone breaks the law?
Punishment
Can an employer take out time from my hours worked for breaks that I don't get?
An employer can require you to take breaks, but cannot deduct time for breaks and then prevent you from taking breaks. If time is being deducted for those breaks, you must be allowed to take the breaks. However, if you have decided not to take breaks because you want to be paid more money, then that is your own doing, it is not the employer's fault. You are being given breaks, so take your breaks. Requirements for breaks vary by jurisdiction (which is to say, the law doesn't work the same way in all locations) but it is quite usual that there is a labor regulation that requires employers to give breaks to employees, and if employees don't take those breaks, it will then appear that the employer is breaking the law. That's why the employer may insist that you take breaks.
