A split shift is defined as a work schedule that is interrupted by unpaid, nonworking periods established by the employer, other than bona fide rest or meal periods. The number of hours separating the two work periods is not a factor if the time between is separated by more than a meal period and the work was within the 24-hour workday established by the employer.
If there is more than one hour between shifts, the employee must receive a premium of one hour’s pay at no less than the state or local minimum wage rate (whichever is higher) for the time between shifts. However, offsets against that premium may be made, depending on the employee’s hourly rate of pay.
