Under MN law, an employer must allow each employee adequate time from work within each four consecutive hours of work to utilize the nearest convenient restroom. In my opinion, this is supposed to be a paid break. Also, MN law requires that an employer must permit each employee who is working for eight or more consecutive hours sufficient time to eat a meal, but this does not have to be a paid break.
