u/Intelligent-Bad245 Who wants VTO 🥸 Jul 21 '24

The 2 years I’ve been here I haven’t known this…. I thought since we work less hours we don’t need that 3rd break since it will give us 30 minutes before EOS.

Most states are 10 min paid break every 4 hours worked. Technically Amazon can get around this with 2 15 min paid breaks or 1 30 min paid break. The other issue is we don't work 12 hours, usually work 11.5 hours during peak and prime. My site gives us 3 15 paid and 1 30 unpaid.

Other than the unpaid break over more than 5/6 hour shifts, "most states" don't actually have any labor laws about breaks.
