Federal labor laws? |
Is the federal labor law regarding breaks that an hourly employee must have a 10 minute break when working 4 hours? Also, if you work over 8 hours in a 5 day 40 hour week, you get over time? Also, if you have to work through lunch, even if they feed you, you get paid for lunch? And where can I find this info? We are being taken advantage of here at my job! You can get the information on the Department of Labor website (www.dol.gov). Sadly, this is what is stated about breaks: "Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks work-time that must be paid. Unauthorized extensions of authorized work breaks need not be counted as hours worked when the employer has expressly and unambiguously communicated to the employee that the authorized break may only last for a specific length of time, that any extension of the break is contrary to the employer's rules, and any extension of the break will be punished. Bona fide meal periods (typically lasting at least 30 minutes), serve a different purpose than coffee or snack breaks and, thus, are not work time and are not compensable." You are being taken advantage of at your job, I'm sure, but the government smiles upon it. lign="right" > Sign in to vote! lass="explain-text">Sometimes none of the answers get it just right.
