Scroob, unfortunately, if the ct in your location stands for Connecticut, here is what I found at http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/wgwkstn...ees.htm#breaks
Is my employer required to provide me a break?
Connecticut state law does not require your employer to provide you a break. For additional information, please see "Is my employer required to provide me a meal period?" below.
Is my employer required to provide me a meal period?
Your employer must provide you a meal period of at least 30 consecutive minutes if you have worked for 7½ or more consecutive hours. However, the Labor Commissioner will exempt your employer from this requirement if one of the following conditions is present:
a. complying with this requirement would endanger public safety;
b. the duties of the position can only be performed by one employee;
c. the employer employs less than 5 employees on that shift at that one business location (this only applies to that particular shift); or,
d. the employer's operation requires that employees be available to respond to urgent conditions, and that the employees are compensated for the meal period.
Meal period requirements are covered under 31-51ii of the Conn. State Statutes.
You should call the Employment Department to confirm this information.
If there is an employee handbook and it states that employees should receive breaks, then that is something to contact the labor board/commission/department about.
