Yes, an employer in Alabama can make you work a 12 hour shift without a break - but they do not have to pay you extra. There is no federal or Alabama state law mandating that an employer must allow for any meal breaks or other breaks.

For information on federal labor laws concerning paid breaks, meal breaks and other breaks, see this website:

For information on Alabama state laws concerning meal breaks or other breaks, see this website:

Also, here is an additional website that combines information on federal and Alabama state laws into a comprehensive summary:

If an employer does allow for short breaks (20 minutes or less), they are still required to pay you for that time by federal law. However, if a break is 30 minutes or more (typically this would be a meal break), then they do not have to pay you for that time.

Can your employer make you take a break if you are only scheduled 5.5 hours?

Usually for every 4 hours that you work they must give you a 15 minute break. Also, you're usually paid for this so just take it. Depending on your work environment, you can probably shorten your break time yourself by staying a few extra minutes and coming back a few minutes early as well.

What is the difference between a soft break and a hard break in word processing?

A soft break is a break at the end of a line or a page that occurs when the program word-wraps or advances pages automatically. A hard break (anywhere in a line or a page) is forced by the program user, who uses a keystroke to force the break at a specific point -- the keystroke embeds a hard-break code. The location of a soft break adjusts automatically with a change in the margins or the line-lengths or the number of lines. The hard break remains in its original location unless the operator deliberately removes it or relocates it.
