Illinois Labor Laws

Asked Apr 20, 2008, 05:00 PM — 1 Answer
Hello, I have kind of a silly question, but I can't seem to find an anwser anywhere. I work for a Union in the city of Chicago. Our rights and laws are very spicific. My wife (on the other hand) works at a local hospital. I can't seem to find the law that tells us about breaks during an 8 hour a day work day. I always thought you get two 15 min. Breaks (paid) and a half hour lunch (not paid). The hospital that my wife works at does not give her any breaks and she gets 30 min. Lunch (not paid). Is this right?

Thanks

I assume she is not covered by a union contract? In actuality, thesse things are more often covered by union or employment contracts, not be legislation.

According to that act, she is getting 10 minutes more than the law requires.
