Usually 4-5 hours
Depends... are you actually working when you work? Or are you taking a break while you are supposed to be working?
Federal law states that after 5 hours you must be given one 15 minute break. If you work 8 hours you must be given another 15 minute break and a 30 minute lunch.
Well it depends on the workplace - where I work (I am sixteen, and I work at a fast food restaurant... surprise, surprise...) I get a 30 minute break every 5 hours, so I guess if you work 2.5 or 3 hours you could get A 15 minute break, although a friend I have gets 15 minutes per 4 hours, so like I said, it depends on the job and workplace rules.
If someone works for 6 or 6.5 hours, they are not entitled to a 30 minute break. They are entitled to a 30 minute break if they work 8 hours or more.
by law, you are allocated every 5 to 6 hours you must get a break.
I work at a restaurant and can be on my feet nonstop for hours on end, like 4 or 5, and when I sit down for a second because my back or feet need a rest I get yelled at. I can work all day, eat on the go while standing and finish my shift of over 8 hours on the average and never be allowed to sit. Is this legal?
Your boss has to give you a meal break of at least 30 minutes after you work 5 hours in a row. If you're required to be available for work during your meal break, it has to be counted as time worked. Employers are not required to provide coffee breaks. http://www.workrights.ca/content.php?doc=24
Well 8 hours work a day entitles you to an hour lunch so I don't see why 4 hours couldn't give you half an hour break
