ASL Break Policy
**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS ONLY**
ASL INT breaks are assigned based on the number of hours worked in a day.
- 10-minutes of unscheduled paid break time per scheduled hour to be used as needed by ASL INTs
EX: 4 hour shifts receive 4 10-minute paid breaks to be used as needed over the course of the shift.
*Please note these breaks cannot be used at the end of the shift for an early log out, as this will shorten the timesheet.*
**These breaks cannot be combined. If a long call occurs you may take a break following that call, but it would not be added to the next hour's break time.**
- Any shift totaling 5 or more hours will receive a 30-minute unpaid lunch.
EX: 5 hour shifts receive 4 10-minute paid breaks to be used as needed and a scheduled 30-minute unpaid lunch break.
Please also see an example shift with breaks below for that is 6 hours long:
Hour 1: Can take a 10-minute break. *This break cannot be used at the start of your shift to arrive late.*
Hour 2: Can take a 10-minute break.
Hour 3: Will take the assigned 30-minute lunch. No 10-minute break would be taken this hour due to the provided lunch. This break section may vary by hour depending on when your scheduled lunch break is within your shift.
Hour 4: Can take a 10-minute break.
Hour 5: Can take a 10-minute break.
Hour 6: Can take a 10-minute break. *This break cannot be used at the end of your shift to leave 10-minutes early.*
See below how to log your breaks in Deputy:
You DO NOT enter short breaks in Deputy. Only enter the scheduled 30-mintue break if it is present in your posted Deputy shift.
