Each workday, full-time nonexempt employees are provided with a 15 minute rest period. Supervisors will advise employees of the rest period length and schedule. To the extent possible, rest periods will be provided in the middle of work periods. Since this time is counted and paid as time worked, employees must not be absent from their workstations beyond the allotted rest period time.
All full-time nonexempt employees are provided with one meal period of 30 minutes in length each workday. Supervisors will schedule meal periods to accommodate operating requirements. Employees will be relieved of all active responsibilities and restrictions during meal periods and will not be compensated for that time.
Employees must punch out at their designated time clock when leaving for a scheduled break, and punch back in at its conclusion, in order to keep an accurate record of hours worked. Failure to accurately record time work can lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
