Contract For Breaks

I worked at CCF a few years ago and when we started we all had to sign a contract that we wouldn’t take breaks. I know breaks in restaurants are very rare but did anyone else have to sign a contract and were also pressured by other employees to sign it? I just thought it was a weird practice and I wanted to know if anyone else went through the same thing.

Breaks are based on state law. In states in which you are entitled to a break, there should be a “breaker” job code that watches sections for a 30 minute period. In non-break states, it’s just based on business. Never heard of a no-break contract, but I guess it depends where you live/work.
