The answer to the question, without more information, is, probably "yes."

Illinois law requires that an employee 16 years of age or over who is to work 7 1/2 continuous hours or more shall be provided an unpaid meal period of at least 20 minutes. The meal period must be given to an employee no later than 5 hours after beginning work. 820 ILCS 140/3.

For employees under the age of 16, employers must provide a meal period of at lesat 30 minutes if the employees is scheduled to work more than 5 consecutive hours. 820 ILCS 205/4.

Illinois does not have a law regarding breaks, thus the federal standard applies. The federal rule does not require an employer to provide either a meal period or break, however, if an employer chooses provide a non-meal breaks, usually of the type lasting less than 20 minutes, it must be paid. If an employee is working pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement (working a union job), the terms of the collective bargaining agreement may govern the meal and break requirements.
