The Illinois "One Day Rest in Seven Act" ODRISA, very euphonic! Provides for employees a minimum of twenty four hours of rest in each calendar week and a meal period of 20 minutes for every 7 1/2 hour shift beginning no later than 5 hours after the start of the shift. The law allows employers to secure permits from the Department to work employees the 7th day provided that the employees have voluntarily elected to work."<BR/>A bit of research for your respondent, HR Lady.

We host free seminars for clients and prospective clients on topics such as labor laws and legislative updates. You may want to see if there are any free (or inexpensive) legislative update seminars in your area that you can attend. Even if they don't cover your particular question, there are usually labor attorneys available to answer any questions you may have, such as what the meal laws are in your state. If they're good, they can give you a straight answer. In CA, for example, 30-minute meal periods are required, based on the number of hours worked, and the company can get huge penalties for non-compliance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587647693870269272noreply@blogger.com
