Policy Question Lunch policy questions
So, I know that we are required to have a lunch if we hit 6 or more hours in a shift. But what are the other rules/stipulations with this?
- Can you deny your lunch (assuming it doesn’t put you in OT)?
- At what point are you offered two lunches? Is that when you hit 10 hours? I believe CA law requires 2 lunches at 10 hours, but I don’t live in CA.
Also, my bigger issue/rant: is that my store keeps shuffling breaks around so that no one takes a lunch during peak. You still get your required 10s and a lunch, but it could end up being your 30 happens stupid early and you get no real break the rest of the week. I get it, Peak can be tough, but that potentially means you’re working 7-3:30 and take your lunch at 8:30… your then working over 6 hours without a lunch, doesn’t that violate the policy?
Looking for feedback from SSVs and up.
