Now we are being told we can have only one 30min break even if we are working 8hrs. does any one know the pa state law on breaks. Also it does not say anything in the hand book.

Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry can be contacted through their website:

See question #10.
What is the Law Regarding Breaks and Meal Periods?
Pennsylvania employers are required to provide break periods of at least 30 minutes for minors ages 14 through 17 who work five or more consecutive hours. Employers are not required to give breaks for employees 18 and over. If your employer allows breaks, and they last less than 20 minutes, you must be paid for the break. If your employer allows meal periods, the employer is not required to pay you for your meal period if you do not work during your meal period and it lasts more than 20 minutes. A collective bargaining agreement may also govern this issue. |

By any chance did you pass your 18th birthday since you started? The PA law would suggest that they may have been in compliance before you reached age 18, and then you reached 18 and qualified for less. |

The 30 minute break is likely required by law. The 15 minute breaks are likely a courtesy provided by the employer and not a legal right.
I would look for a different job. It does not sound like your employer is a very nice one. |

There is no law requiring breaks, and the employer can change the rules at any time if they want to. |

Most states require at least a10 minute break for every four hours worked with thirty minutes for lunch. Check with your state law. |
