24. Rest Periods

   Although not required, it is encouraged for supervisors to grant employees mid-morning and mid-afternoon rest periods not to exceed a total of 30 minutes each workday. Rest periods are not cumulative. Rest periods shall not be taken before one hour after the employee arrives at work, or one hour before the employee leaves work. Rest periods are considered work time. Scheduling of these periods is at the discretion of the supervisor, based on working conditions.
