In Pennsylvania, there is no requirement for your employer to provide you with meals or rest breaks in most circumstances. The primary exception is for workers who are minors. If you’re under the age of 18, they must give you a break. While an employer is not required to provide you with breaks otherwise, there are rules that must be followed if they decide to offer breaks for their employees. If your break is 20 minutes or less, it must be a paid break. If it’s longer than 20 minutes, your employer is not required to pay you.
