In the state of Virginia are Employers required by Law to give employees Lunch Periods and breaks?

In Virginia, employers only have to provide lunch breaks to employees aged 14 or 15, and only when the employee works five or more hours.  If you are 16 or older, your company does not have to give you any breaks.If you’re working more than 40 hours in a given week, you may be entitled to time and a half for those excess hours.  There may be other issues with your workplace as well.  Give us a call to schedule a consultation, and we can see what your options are.Lee B.
