When an employee’s unpaid meal period is interrupted by work duties, the employee will be allowed to resume his or her unpaid meal period following the interruption, if possible, and to complete the 30-minute unpaid meal period. In the event the employee is unable to complete the 30-minute unpaid meal period due to operational necessity, the employee shall be entitled to appropriate compensation to be computed based on the actual number of minutes worked within the 30-minute unpaid meal period. An employee whose shift is extended at least three (3) hours longer than a normal workday will be entitled to another 30-minute unpaid meal period. This second meal period must be given within five (5) hours from the end of the first meal period and for each five (5) hours worked thereafter.
