Stay Compliant with Minnesota’s New Break Laws
As of January 1, 2026, Minnesota restaurants are required to allow paid rest breaks every four hours and a 30-minute meal break for employees that work six hours or more. EmployeeMetrics makes compliance simple, visible, and stress-free.
Our wall-mounted tablet gives your team real-time break awareness. Employees can see exactly when breaks are coming up, while managers get live visibility into who is compliant and who needs a break soon — before issues arise.
By clearly displaying break status and expectations, EmployeeMetrics helps restaurants take reasonable, documented steps to allow required breaks. That means fewer missed breaks, fewer disputes, and less exposure to complaints or penalties — all without slowing down operations.
Built specifically for restaurants, EmployeeMetrics works alongside your existing timekeeping system to create transparency, accountability, and confidence — for owners, managers, and staff alike.
