Answer:
In Wyoming, there are no laws requiring employers to provide meal breaks or rest periods for private sector employees. Only twenty-one states have meal period requirements, and Wyoming is not one of them. Therefore, it is legal for an employer in Wyoming to require an employee to work 8-10 hours without breaks.
