Every employee may be granted a rest period of not to exceed 15 minutes during each four hours or major fraction thereof of a working period but the total for any day shall not exceed 25 minutes. The appointing power or its designated representative shall determine the time when the rest period is to be taken and to whom it applies. Insofar as practicable, the rest period shall be granted in the middle of each work period. A rest period shall not be granted during the first or last hour of a work period nor shall rest period time be accumulated. Except with the consent of the appointing power an employee shall not leave the building where employed. No obligation is upon the appointing power to provide time or facilities for refreshments during the rest period or for the procurement thereof. No wage deduction or time off shall be made or charged for an authorized rest period, nor shall any rights accrue for overtime if the rest period is not taken. Rest periods shall not be authorized where granting them would in any instance result in an increase in the budget for salaries and wages of any state agency.
