In NJ only meal periods are mandated by the Dept of Labor. Breaks are optional, though two 15s per 8 hours is the general standard. Here I think it's at over 6 hours you get a lunch of 30 min, then require an additional 30 when you get to 10hrs.
If I read correct, Sly works in customer service. This is an EXTREMELY rigid environment in most cases. I've worked in a few call centers myself. It's a nightmare if you hate rules lemme just say. They used to give us two 10min breaks and one 30 min break in an 8.5 hr shift in one I worked in for health insurance. And your schedule was generated each day and the times were all different. And if you went over your break, even by a minute, they would take a break away the next day as punishment. It was like a friggin sweatshop...
Wow. The hospital gets on us if we come back a minute early. And they get on us if we don't take a 30 min lunch (forget any extra breaks) and sometimes I have so much work I just time out and still work (which I know is illegal). They just don't want to pay us for not taking a lunch.
