Does Your Work Need To Give You Breaks

Does sonic employees get a break? and do they have to be given one by law?

It depends on how many hours you work on the shift, and by state.
Typically, I believe if you work 4 hours or less, the employer doesn't have to give you one, but if you're working 8 hours, you get a break by law.
For specifics, you'd have to look up the state laws for employees.

Hope this helps.

Should I take a break between sets while working out?

There are two answers to this question and it depends on what you are striving for. 1) Build muscle. If you're trying to build muscle/strength then you would want to take a break between sets to allow your muscles to recover in order to push just as hard or heavier the next set. If you don't take a break, you'll find pushing the same weight again with the same repetition to be much harder the second time around without a break. This means that you're going to most likely give out faster and not be able to maximize your gains. 2) Burn out. If you're trying to cut or lose weight, you shouldn't take a lot of breaks or even any breaks unless you're going to a new exercise if you're burnt out. The idea is to burn a lot of calories and tire yourself out and the fastest way to do that is to take less breaks. So depending on what you're trying to workout at the gym, taking breaks between sets really depends on your goal in the gym. Hope that helps out,Mike

How often should I take a break at work?

(A2A)Take breaks as often as you need to. I know that may not seem very helpful, but the truth is trying to adhere to someone else's break planning will end up not working in all likelihood. Studies that show 'optimal' breaking patterns are aggregates, so they have some chance of working for you, but really, you know you better than any study. Now onto perhaps a more useful suggestion.Take a Variety of breaksProbably the most important thing I do is introduce variety into the breaks I take. Here is the range of things I do for breaks:Some breaks are short and on the computer (where I work). Like this Quora answer. At least once a day I take a 30 min break to do something else - like grab coffee, go for a walk, and pre-injury, short 3 mile runs. Short physical breaks are also important for me. I had a small basketball hoop in my grad student office, so I'd play a game of horse with a lab mate. Also short 'breaks' where I talk about work with colleagues that is not directly related to my work. I like these breaks a lot cause they divert my thinking + I am helping the overall organization by helping my colleagues. Zone out breaks are also key. When you are mentally exhausted, just close your eyes, and breath for a couple minutes. Try to empty your mind, like an ultra fast meditations. This is what works for me. Like I said in para 1, you really need to figure this one out for your own work style.

Do you take a full lunch break at work?

I get 30 minutes for lunch. Unless a patients does not show, this is my only break during the day. Thirty minutes is not a lot of time to eat, go to the bathroom, and take a walk to decompress (all of which are needs, not wants).In the past, even if I had a job with a 60 minute lunch break, I always worked through lunch. I hated the idea of sitting around doing nothing when I could be doing something to get home sooner.The problem was that I found myself getting burnt out. I've made a firm commitment to myself to politely decline meetings over lunch. They are stealing my time.I also decided that I had to make my self-care a priority. No one else was going to do it for me.Now, I have made a commitment to go on a walk with a friend each day during lunch, regardless of how much work I have to do.I have to say that my stress level is lower, I’m in better health, and I am even working more efficiently than when I was working through lunch.Everyone should take their full lunch break and utilize that time for self-care.

I dont get any breaks, can I sue my Boss?

Breaks and rest periods are allowed for workers under the law. Thus, superiors not giving breaks to their workers can be charged for violating the labor standard for rest periods.

Under the law, an employee is allowed to get a 15 minutes break in the morning and afternoon shifts plus a one hour meal break in between said periods.

Are food service jobs required to give you lunch breaks/rest breaks? I've been cooking fulltime at a restaurant for about a year now, and every day we are required to work straight through a 7-10 hours shift with no break. What can I do?

That’s definitely not okay, although I’ve seen that you live in the US where I don’t think there are by law work regulations.However you should most definitely complain to either your manager or some kind of union rep or if that’s a dead end I’d contact a local politician.In the U.K. I understand it’s not the same but it’s all I can give for reference but here a 15 minute break is required for every 6 hours of work.Please complain or simply find a new work where you are given more respect.
