The overtime laws for a lunch break under the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) is that employers are not required to provide rest breaks or meal breaks (aka as lunch breaks) to employees, however if an employer chooses to provide a lunch break they may have to pay wages in excess of 20 minutes. The lunch break overtime laws can be quite complex and confusing as state laws can also be a determining factor of whether or not an employee is required to receive a paid lunch. Some states do in fact have their own overtime pay laws that may be slightly different from the FLSA.
