(to HR, 2007 relevant california labor law)
i was personally feeling unclear , so i called the
labor hotline back to be sure about whether lunches
are included in time calculation, or what exactly is
meant by "four hours or a significant portion
thereof."
it means 3.5 hrs worked, not including lunch.
so each shift will have very clear requirement, and if
someone is working late, then that might affect the
breaking.
for a 7.5 hr or greater shift, not including time at
lunch
2-10's
if you worked 7 hrs and 29 minutes, not including
lunch time, then only one ten . . .
maybe you already know this.
i think some companies that follow the break rules end
up shortening the shifts to reduce the breaks
required.
oh well!
i hope there is no need to involve payroll for
unbreaked waiters etc. , but the penalty demanded for
un/partially breaked shifts really must be adhered to,
don't you think?
i guess i feel impatient and can't wait to feel good
about everything.
also-- will the shift leaders be informed of the
precise standards?
bc i don't want to be perceived like i am pulling this
out of thin air.
say today,
temo only took one of his tens, oscar, only a lunch.
i think it would be better accepted with a little
force of authority, which i don't have.
hey we used to have the occasional store employee
meeting. i think it would be nice, so we could go
over things re: harassment, no working off the clock,
other concerns.
it could be a morale booster too.
there is nothing worse than feeling voiceless, and i
thank you so much for listening and helping us move
quickly on this issue.
it was so nice to talk today!
