There are no state laws regarding breaks or lunch periods. These issues might be addressed by company policy, or could be covered by union contract. Missouri has no law requiring paid vacations for private sector employment. This is an issue that must be addressed by the employee with his or her employer. The State of Missouri does not have a law that requires employers to offer any type of fringe benefit, such as insurance or sick leave.
Wages are due at the time of termination.
If not paid at that time, the employee should contact their former employer by certified mail return receipt requested, requesting wages that are due. The employer would have 7 days to respond to the written request. If the employer does not respond in 7 days, because the State of Missouri does not have authority to collect wages for any individual, any moneys due would have to be collected by private legal action. There are no requirements under Missouri law that address when wages are due when an employee quits a job. If wages are not paid by the next regular pay period, then the wages would have to be collected by legal action.
