EssilorLuxottica Operations | Meal Periods and Rest Breaks

All U.S. EssilorLuxottica Manufacturing, Rx Operations and Distribution Center employees  are collectively referred to as “EssilorLuxottica Operations.”

For the California Meal Periods and Rest Breaks policy, please see California Meal Periods and Rest Breaks.

Meal Periods

Employees who work six or more hours will receive one 30-minute, unpaid meal period (unless state law mandates a more generous meal period). Meal periods cannot be combined with other paid breaks. Depending on the employee’s shift and facility location, the meal period may be paid or unpaid. Where the meal period is unpaid, employees must clock out at the beginning of the meal period and clock in when they return. Once the employee has clocked out, he/she is permitted to leave the facility premises for the duration of the meal period. If the employee remains on the premises, meal periods must be taken away from the work floor within designated areas.

Rest Breaks

Unless state law mandates more generous rest breaks, the following rest break guidelines apply:

• Employees who work less than four hours are not entitled to a rest break.
• Employees who work four or more hours are entitled to rest breaks in accordance with the facility’s rest break policy.
