Shift (Hours Worked in Day) Number of Paid Rest Breaks At least 3.5 and up to 6 hours 1 More than 6 and up to 10 hours 2 More than 10 and up to 14 hours 3 More than 14 hours Continue under the above schedule AJK generally will not authorize a rest period for employees whose total daily work time is less than three and one-half (3 ½) hours. Employees are generally authorized and permitted to schedule their rest periods at their own discretion under these guidelines; however, a supervisor may ask that rest periods be scheduled to best ensure the smooth operation of their Department. Rest periods may not be combined with other rest or meal periods. Rest periods are “on the clock” and counted as hours worked, and thus, you are not required to separately record your rest periods on your timecards or AJK’s timekeeping system. If your rest period is interrupted, you must notify your supervisor immediately so that arrangements can be made for you to take a further, uninterrupted, rest period required by AJK policy. No supervisor is authorized to instruct you to waive a rest period, and rest periods cannot be used to shorten the workday or be accumulated for any other purpose. Rest periods can be waived provided they are waived by an employee without any coercion from a supervisor and the waiver is purely voluntary. You may be required to confirm that you have been provided an opportunity to take all of your duty-free rest periods during a particular pay period (including pay periods when one or more rest periods have been voluntarily waived by you). AJK pays one-hour of premium pay to non-exempt employees at their regular rate of compensation for each day during which they are required by AJK to work during one or more rest periods or when they are not otherwise provided an opportunity by AJK to take one or more rest periods on any day in accordance with this policy. Because this should be an exceptional occurrence, if you are aware of such a situation, please be sure to bring it to our attention without delay. AJK strictly prohibits retaliation against any employee who reports violations of AJK’s rest period policy. The one-hour premium will not apply in situations where an employee personally chooses not to take a rest period or to deviate from AJK’s schedules or policies providing rest breaks as required by law. TRAVEL TIME Generally, employees who travel from home before the regular workday and return home at the end of the workday are engaged in ordinary home-to-work travel, which is not work time. However, all time spent traveling as part of an employee's main work activities (e.g., travel from one job site to another, or from the work location to a job site, during the workday) must be counted as hours worked and recorded on the employee's time sheet. Where an employee's job involves traveling from one site to another after reporting for the day's work, the travel time must be counted as hours worked.
