Bill would require meal breaks for Missouri employees

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 at 12:00 AM

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri employees are currently not entitled to a meal break or a lunch hour under state law. A new bill aims to change that.

Missouri State Rep. Kevin Windham Jr. (D-St. Louis County) recently introduced HB 2856. The bill would require all employers to offer their employees a “meal period” of at least 30 minutes per eight-hour shift.

According to the Missouri Department of Labor, employee breaks “of any kind” are not required by state law, leaving breaks and meal periods up to the discretion of employers.
