Are the employees entitled to coffee breaks?
The Act requires the employer to give 30 minutes break after every 5 hours of work. The employer does not have to pay for the break and the employee is free to leave the workplace during the break. However, if the employee and the employer agree, the 30 minutes break can be split into two 15 minutes coffee breaks. But, if the employer provides additional break and the employee is required to stay at the workplace, it must be paid at least minimum wage.
