Florida state requirements for employee breaks
Are there any laws requiring employers to give their employees a 15-minute break in the morning and one in the afternoon?
I don't think there is, but let me know.

Florida does not have any laws requiring an employer to provide a meal period or breaks to employees 18 years of age or older, thus the federal rule applies. The federal rule does not require an employer to provide either a meal (lunch) period or breaks. However, if an employer chooses to do so, breaks, usually of the type lasting less than 20 minutes, must be paid. Meal or lunch periods (usually 30 minutes or more) do not need to be paid, so long as the employee is free to do as they wish during the meal or lunch period. DOL: Breaks and Meal Periods.

might need a break for that, too.
I judge their effectiveness based on output, not input.
