I am a retired RN working as a caregiver. I work 6 or more hour shifts. Am I entitled to a 15 minute break?

Not only depends on the laws for your local jurisdiction, but each job type may also have different rules regarding breaks. It also depends on how many other employees are working at the time.

In most cases, employees who work in healthcare/caregiving and who have patients dependent upon them for their care are not entitled to any types of breaks at all. Depends on your employer and local law.

The answer depends on the applicable labor law(s) for the jurisdiction in which you are working as a caregiver.

You aren't entitled to ANY breaks unless you live in California, where a 10 minute is mandatory after so many hours. Anywhere else, breaks are at the employer's option. Most places do not give breaks. Just a lunch hour or a dinner hour.

Check with your agency.

Rules in the U.K. are different when caring for people in their own homes.

If you work in care home then you should have a 20 minute break in each 6 hour shift.

Depends on your state.

I don't think they HAVE to give you a paid 15 minute break but they can.

When I was a manager way back when, we did not have a formal break policy but usually let someone have a few minutes when we could if they asked. Some places insist in a lunch break in which you don't get paid.

Employment laws depend on the country

Depends where you're working. Employment laws vary widely throughout the world.
