As you can see, there's no way I'm going to plug HR Hero products such as [b][link:www.hrhero.com/basictraining|Basic Training for Supervisors][/b]. It wouldn't be dignified.

Breaks are not required, but if given, certain rules apply. They are considered "coffee breaks" if kept under 20 minutes and are to be paid time.
At our company, we allow two breaks per day and ask that each break be under 15 minutes. Hourly employees clock out for breaks and if they go over 20 minutes, the time is docked.
I found this info from the TWC. Hopes this helps.
