Break and Meal Times for Student Employees

A student who works a 4-6 hour shift should get a 15 minute paid break per shift. Any student who works more than 6 hours but less than 7 hours is entitled to one 15 minute paid break and a 30 minute unpaid meal break. A student working over 7 hours is entitled to two 15 minute paid breaks and a 30 minute unpaid meal break.

Breaks are scheduled by the supervisor to maintain efficiency of the work unit. Breaks must be preceded and followed by work and should not be used to cover a student's late arrival or early departure. Time designated for rest periods cannot be accumulated. In some instances, by agreement, supervisors may permit student employees to combine their paid breaks with their unpaid lunch periods. This practice is acceptable as long as it does not interfere with efficiency or result in fatigue for individuals whose work is excessively strenuous, dirty, dusty, hot or cold. When these conditions exist, a break is essential.

When using Web time entry, students are required to enter a work beginning time and a work ending time (time in and time out).  A student taking a paid break should not 'time out.'

Students must 'time out' for any unpaid breaks in their work schedule.
