Rest periods (US DOL)

Basic standard: Paid 10-minute rest period for every 4-hours worked or major portion thereof in one work period; as feasible, approximately in middle of each segment of work period.
Prescribed by: Administrative
Coverage: Applicable to every employer, except employees covered by collective bargaining agreement.
Comments: Rest period must be in addition to usual meal period and taken separately; not to be added to usual meal period or deducted from beginning or end of work period to reduce overall length of total work period. In absence of regularly scheduled rest periods, it is sufficient compliance when employer can show that the employee has, in fact, received the time specified (permitted only where employer can show that ordinary nature of the work prevents employer from establishing and maintaining a regularly scheduled rest period). Rest period is not required for employees age 18 or older who work alone in a retail or service establishment serving the general public and who work less than 5 hours in a period of 16 continuous hours.

Hours, counted

This page states the DOL rows and nothing beyond them. It does not say how they apply to any particular job, schedule or agreement. For hours, the calculators do arithmetic on the numbers you type: shift hours, hour totals split at 40, long shifts.
