Yes, you are working 2- 8 hour shifts. After the first 6 hours, 30 min meal break is supplied. As the second consecutive shift kicks in, after 6 hrs is worked again another 30 min meal break is offered, which sould be used 2 times appropriately during these 16 hrs. If, in the hospital industry, the patients healthcare requires you to continue working then you will be compensated for straight time pay. Unless your weeks' hours exceed 40 then that time will be considered overtime. The 30 meal breaks are "offered" to the employee and subsequently their option to use those breaks. If the employee feels they want to work through their entitled breaks they are by law entitled to, if leaving early does not hamper patient care and paid break time does not promugate overtime pay.
