Worker Rights and Support Act mandates meal, rest, restroom, and medical breaks for employees.
The Worker Rights and Support Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to require employers to provide meal breaks of at least 30 minutes for every 6-hour work period, rest breaks of at least 10 minutes for every 4-hour work period, and restroom breaks as needed. Employers must also allow medical breaks for employees with communicated medical conditions. Employers cannot compel employees to waive these breaks. The act also updates enforcement provisions and penalties for violations.
