On The Clock Breaks for Restaurant Workers

[Stephany]

I was told it was the Indiana law that if you work at least 4 hours, you are entitled to an "on the clock" break. Is this true? If it is, is it teens only or everyone? And how much "on the clock" time do you get? I am speaking of restaurant work.

This is straight from Indiana's DOL web site:

"If you are over 18 years of age, Indiana law does not require your employer to give time off for lunch or breaks.

If you are under 18 years of age, Indiana law requires your employer to provide you either one or two rest breaks totaling 30-minutes when you are scheduled to work six or more consecutive hours."
