One Minute of Overtime

Bona Fide Meal Break

November 15, 2023

By Russell B. Berger

Welcome to One Minute of Overtime, where I will share insights on Labor and Employment Law topics, mostly related to minimum wage and overtime compliance issues.

Compliance in this area of law is nuanced and technical, so it is critical for employers to audit and adjust their practices to remain compliant, so stop by to stay up-to-date and in-the-know.

An employer does not have to pay an employee for time spent on a bona fide meal break. However, to qualify as a bona fide meal break, the employee must be completely relieved from duty and should not be interrupted for thirty minutes or more.
