If the request is granted, the employee will then be allowed only one (1) other break later in the shift. Employees who are scheduled to work an overtime shift on a normal day off shall be allowed breaks and a meal period as allowed for a regular shift.

Breaks shall not interfere with an employee's complaint load and the opportunity to take a break is contingent upon there being available time, given the employee's complaint load. Work breaks not taken shall not accumulate.
