If I understand your question, you want to know if your employer can make you take a 1 hour break instead of the usual 1/2 hour break in order to keep your hours worked at 40 or under for the week?
The answer is yes. An employer can adjust the schedules of employees to meet the businesses needs, including to keep employees under 40 hours.
This could be different if you are in a union. I assume you are not. If you are, you should consult with the union to find out whether this is permitted under the collective bargaining agreement.
