    Default Illinois Lunch, Break Requirements

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Illinois

    Does an hourly worker at a grocery chain have any lunch or break periods mandated by law? Do these laws override any collective bargaining agreements or go in addition to?

    Thanks

    Default Re: Illinois Lunch, Break Requirements

    Sec. 3. Every employer shall permit its employees who are to work for 7 1/2 continuous hours or longer, except those specified in this Section, at least 20 minutes for a meal period beginning no later than 5 hours after the start of the work period.
    This Section does not apply to employees for whom meal periods are established through the collective bargaining process.
    This Section does not apply to employees who monitor individuals with developmental disabilities or mental illness, or both, and who, in the course of those duties, are required to be on call during an entire 8 hour work period; however, those employees shall be allowed to eat a meal during the 8 hour work period while continuing to monitor those individuals.
    (Source: P.A. 88‑73.)
    good enough?
