Breaks

For every shift, an employee will have regularly scheduled break periods. Each employee can have regular shorter breaks¹⁾, and periodic longer breaks²⁾, typically used for sleeping by those employees who need to do that. While employees have maximum break lengths, there is no minimum break length. No employee is obliged to take a break. Some employees are known to work without sleep or rest, but this is a tiring job, and naps can be an intriguing new experience.

While on break, employees are welcome to remove their vest and nametag. Employees are also welcome to peruse the various goods on sale at Emporium and make purchases, just like any other customer.

Each employee character can have one store-allowed break per session. This will always be the shorter break of one hour. This single break can be taken at any point per session, and you don't need to announce when you’re taking this break to a GM. Likewise, returning to your shift does not need to be announced to a GM. For employee characters with the Somniac Quirk, it will be assumed that you take time to sleep during the longer break unless you specifically mention otherwise.
