Are there laws in OR regarding timing of your breaks?

sorry, are you referring to OR as in Operating Room or the state, Oregon?

yes there are. 8 & 10 hour shifts require two 15s and one 30 minute lunch break. The lunch break is supposed to fall about halfway through the shift. If you are working 12 hours a third 15 minute break is also required.
