From their web site...if these numbers were false some one would have called them on it, trust me.

Maybe this lady just made minimum wage, I don't know. At any rate, if they aren't giving them a break every 4 hours, they are breaking labor laws. It doesn't matter how much they are paid, there are still break and lunch rules to follow.

Meal break rules:
Workers have a right to a 30 minute meal break between the 3rd and 5th hour of work.
The meal break does not have to be paid.
Coffee or rest breaks cannot be counted as part of the meal break. Under special circumstances, the meal break can be shorter than 30 minutes.
You can make an agreement with your boss for a different arrangement (like if you want to work without a meal break or want to take it earlier or later in your shift) – but you must agree to the change.
Employees who are covered by the Federal Railway Labor Act are not covered by this law.
Workers under 18 years old have a right to a 30 minute meal break after 5 hours of work and any break of less than 30 minutes must paid.
Rest break rules:
Workers have a right to a paid 10-minute break for each 4-hour work period.
The rest break must be in addition to the meal break. Employees who are covered by the Federal Railway Labor Act are not covered by this law.

Meals and Break

Kentucky employers must provide employees with a rest period of at least 10 minutes
during each four hours of work. The rest period is a paid break. KY Div. of Employment
Standards Regulations.

Employers must also provide a reasonable period for a meal no sooner than the third nor
later than the fifth hour of a work shift unless it has mutually agreed with the employee to
some other arrangement. (“Reasonable” is not defined by law.) A meal period does not
have to be paid so long as the employee is relieved of all duties during the break. KY Div.
of Employment Standards Regulations.

Since I'm reasonably sure that someone will say I posted liberal website links, I'll go straight to the horses mouth.
