Many employees do not grant their workers adequate amount of paid and unpaid breaks. They actually break the law by not granting proper breaks to their employees. But, it is important to note that such things are not applicable in all states. Florida is one of those states where the breaks are not a mandatory on the employees. As per the Florida labor laws, there are no specific legal requirements regarding breaks. In fact, even the federal laws do not have any provision for breaks during a work shift. However, there are still several regulations to protect the interest of the employees in cases where they are cheated out of overtime compensation resulting from unpaid snack breaks.
