So, I work in North Dakota, 10 hour shifts, nights. There are multiple nights I watch random stuff on my phone for hours. But, there is a time window where I am the only maintenance person there, so on call. If I read what I found correctly, ND law states that
“North Dakota requires all employees who work 5 hours to be provided with a 30-minute meal break. This applies anytime there are 2 or more employees on duty. If the employee is completely relieved of work duties, then the break can be unpaid.”.
Working 2130-0800, with extra coverage 2130-0100 and 0430-0800. I am alone 0100-0430, do I possibly have an argument for getting that extra paid half hour? TIA for anyone who might know.
