You could be a recurrence flow which runs on your SP list.
If your break is until 1 o'clock, set the flow to run at 5 minutes past 1 o'clock.
with this flow you will check the SP list for every not break end line and then use an action Push Message to send a message to the corresponding employee. (email adress should be also in the SP list)

Hi
Thanks for your Suggestion.
However breaks are on random for each user.
Say I started working at 8am then want to go to smoke at 9, took more than 10 minutes; a notification should be sent out that its been 10 minutes user on break.
I understand to keep checking empty values on Break End i.e
I could make my flow logic like this.
Schedule > Interval 5 minutes > Get Items > Condition >If Break Start is not empty AND If Break End is Empty(If True --- > ####, If False ---> ####)
If above approach is correct. what I can do to make it read the time stamp on Break Start so it could calculate if current time and time stamp is greater than 5 minutes, if yes send a notification saying some user is on break for this many minutes. If not exit flow.

hope this make sense.

Thank you

That's possible but you will generate a big load, many (unnecessary) flow runs.

You could also write to a SP list when the user starts the break. (and will write to a field (or delete the row) if it is ended)
the new input of this list will trigger the flow which has a timer for like 5 minutes.
after 5 minutes it will check if the record in SP is updated or deleted.
if not, message, if yes, flow ends.

This way you won't have that many flow runs (depending on your employee's 😉 )
