I work 8 hrs a day for a government agency. I'm getting conflicting info on breaks I'm entitled to. I work in Illinois and I was originally told I can have 2 15 min breaks or a half hr lunch break. They are now saying I'm only entitled to a 20 min break.

IL requires a 20 min meal break for 7.5 hours of work. Rest and Meal Breaks - State Laws and Codes (http://www.ewin.com/articles/restper.htm)
