Are employers required to give workers meal, rest, or break periods, holidays off, sick pay, and health and life insurance coverage under the minimum wage law?
Under federal law, it is up to the employee and the employer to agree on any of these things which are called “fringe benefits.” Sometimes they are offered to full-time workers but not to part-time workers. State laws may require meal periods or breaks, and even restrict employment on certain holidays. J. J. Keller’s Human Resources Management Guide: An Essential Tool for Managing Day-to-Day HR Responsibilities addresses FLSA requirements.
