I work from ten to four and my boss doesnt give me a break...is there some kid of law that shows that it is illegal to not give breaks or..??

Might depend on the type of service you are providing and if they can say there are built in breaks. You'd have to check with your state laws but if the employer gets wind of it, you might be on a permanent unpaid break.

Brookeleigh - Does he give you a lunch break? I think remember right ,but after four hrs. on the job labor law says employe must be given a 15 min break, it might be every two hrs,\. there is a 1-800 number in phone books that you can call, THE US LABOR BOARD !!!! GOOD DAY GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS::::: F.B.E.
