Shift Times and Lunch Break

Students are to attend field placement for the same shift duration as staff working at the placement site (as if they were an employee). They are to also take the same length of lunch as staff.

Students follow the agency’s direction regarding the taking of a lunch. If staff at the agency are considered working during the lunch break and are paid for this time, students who are also considered working during the lunch break can accrue this time. Direction should be taken from the supervisor. Documentation in the Attendance Form should reflect this. If staff at the agency are not paid for their lunch, students will also take their lunch and will not accrue this time.
