In Pennsylvania, employers are required to provide a 30-minute break to employees who are between the ages of 14 and 17 who work five or more hours in a row. If an employee is 18 years or older, they are not legally entitled to any breaks. However, if your employer does allow you to take a break and it’s less than 20 minutes long, they must pay you for that time. If your employer allows you to take meal breaks, they are not required to pay you for this time if you do not work during your meal break and its duration is longer than 20 minutes.
