There are no US laws requiring work breaks. Less than 10 states edit: around 20 have laws that require one.
In the vast majority of states you could be asked to work a 16 hour shift with zero breaks entirely legally. Most employers do have break policies but it is not law.
Yeah but those are basically useless as they all contain the boilerplate that basically says that they can be changed at any time for any reason without notice. They don’t bind the employer in any way.
HahahahahahHahahahahahahahah*wheeze*HAHHAHAHAHA

Right you are, I was going on memory.
Though Maryland and Nebraska’s laws only apply to a small portion of workers, and many more have broad exemptions.
Still gross.
All 50 states though require you are compensated for your work. So if this is a non-salary position still illegal if the break period is unpaid.
Additionally if his work contract garuntees the break period that still has legal standing
True, however it isn’t said in the photo that they should not clock back in.
Employment contracts are extremely rare or non-existent in the US.
Not at all, very common for salary positions
I work salary and in my industry I’ve never heard of it. I’m sure they exist but I cannot imagine why any company would do it.
Maybe at executive levels?
Perhaps you are thinking of contract in too grand a scale, any basic employment agreement stating your hours and company rules is a contract.

I’m salaried and part of a union. I have a contract.
Well yeah if you’re part of a union maybe.
Unfortunately that’s 10% or less of working Americans.
