Employee Handbook 2024-2025

Meal and Rest Breaks

All employees who work over six hours are entitled to a 30-minute lunch break between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.  The 30-minute lunch break will be unpaid, except for exempt employees, who will not receive a reduction in salary.

Employees whose shifts commence before 11:00 a.m. and continue after 7:00 p.m. will receive an additional 20-minute paid break.

Employees who work a shift of six hours or more which start between 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. will be provided with a 45-minute meal period sometime midway between the beginning and end of the shift.  The 45-minute meal period will be unpaid, except for exempt employee, who will not receive a reduction in salary. 

Non-exempt employees are required to record when they “punch out” and “punch in” for unpaid meal breaks using Paylocity.

Employees may not work through their meal breaks or skip meal breaks to leave work early.

Employees will be notified of when they can take their break by their direct supervisor.
