In my young adulthood I dug ditches and framed houses for 8 hours per day in 110 degree heat. We got 3 breaks two 10 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch. It was… unpleasant.
If it’s 100 degrees out, does your boss have to give you a break? Probably not.

He doesn’t have to, but he probably should, if he wants future value from you as a non-dead worker.
