Re: Employee break requirments
Generally none. If, however, you are in a Union with a Collective Bargaining Agreement or if you have a contract that allows for breaks, you may be entitled to them. Also, your company may have a policy for breaks, which could give you additional rights. I am not aware of any federal or Georgia law that requires breaks.
The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relationship has been created or should be implied. I recommend that you speak with an attorney of your choosing before taking legal action.
