We need to remind employees to log their work hours, submit the proper forms for vacation time, and take only hour long lunch breaks.

The original sentence is a run on and not grammatically correct. The list of things that employees should be reminded of needs to be written in parallel structure. This means that everything in the list should have the same grammatical structure. Using parallel structure allows for clear, organized ideas. It eliminates wordiness and emphasizes each separate item.
