If he is over 18, apparently they do not have to allow any breaks.  \n\nFrom Wisconsin - employment - labor law as stated on http://www.dwd.state.wi.us/er/labor_standards_bureau/breaks_and_meals.htm\n\n"Wisconsin law does not require that employers provide brief rest periods, coffee breaks or meal periods for adult employees, although the Department recommends, in Chapter DWD 274.02(2) of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, that employers do so."\n\n"Employers are encouraged, but not required, to provide breaks of at least 30 minutes in duration at times reasonably close to the usual meal period.  Such matters are to be determined directly between the employer and the employee."\n\n"Employers must pay employees for "on duty" meal periods. An "on duty" meal period is one where the worker is not provided at least 30 consecutive minutes free from work, or where the worker is not free to leave the employer’s premises. Employers may not deduct from a worker's wages for any time off of less than 30 consecutive minutes."

Michigan State law is:\nEmployees under 18 years of age may not work more than 5 continuous hours without a 30 minute uninterrupted rest period.  There are no requirements for breaks, meal or rest periods for employees over 18 years of age. \n\nWhere an employer has a break, meal or rest period policy, the employee must be completely relieved of work duties and free to pursue his or her own interest to not be considered work time (Cherney v. West Michigan Cleaners 84-3823).\n\nFederal Law is:\nFederal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks work-time that must be paid. Unauthorized extensions of authorized work breaks need not be counted as hours worked when the employer has expressly and unambiguously communicated to the employee that the authorized break may only last for a specific length of time, that any extension of the break is contrary to the employer's rules, and any extension of the break will be punished.\n\nBona fide meal periods (typically lasting at least 30 minutes), serve a different purpose than coffee or snack breaks and, thus, are not work time and are not compensable. \n****************************************\nMy experience after many years of working:\n\nTypically most companies will give their non-exempt (hourly, not salaried employees) two paid 15 minute breaks during an 8 hour work day.  A lunch break is usually offered but is not paid.  So in other words if you take a 1/2 hour lunch you would be expected to work an 8.5 hour workday to make up for the 1/2 hour you took for your lunch. \n\nHope this helps!

I would offer them some coffee, tea or soda as peace making gesture.Of course you will want to spike it with ex lax or lobelia, either one will keep them occupied and out of the office enough, that you won't have to put up with their crap.An added plus is you will shine as the employee who is always there getting the job done.

In the Us it is 1 half hour break for lunch and 2-15 minute breaks. Although there are some businesses that have contracts that state you may not always get your breaks. My husband works at a hospital,and if it is too busy,then he doesn't get any breaks. But he was aware of that when he signed the contract to work there.

That's one of the great things about coffee! I make a pot of local roasted coffee every morning and take a crap. Then it's shower time and off to work.
