Rest periods and/or meal periods cannot be used to report late or leave work early. Should a meeting preempt the designated meal period, another time period of equal length must be substituted during the same day, as close to the midpoint of the shift as possible. Employees must not plan to work through their meal period to enable them to leave work early, or arrive late. The department head is responsible for scheduling meal periods. Employees who work more than six (6) hours are entitled to a 30-minute meal period. For employees that are members of a bargaining unit, the meal and rest periods are covered by bargaining agreements. The links to the bargaining agreements are listed below: White
