Lunch Facilities Policy
HR Policies & Procedures

Lunch Facilities

Employers make eating facilities available as a benefit for their employees for several reasons. Convenient facilities allow employees to spend more time eating and relaxing during their meal periods while reducing the total amount of time needed for the break. Some employers do not restrict the availability of meals to just the lunch break. To accommodate the diverse schedules of employees, food may be served at any time during the day and may include breakfast and even dinner. Some innovative employers also now offer concierge services that include grocery shopping and even meal preparation so that employees do not have to stop on the way home. The cost of the service is paid by the employer but the actual food is charged to the employee.
