So I feel I've noticed a trend from some employers, they've started tacking on an extra half hour and justifying it as “that time is necessary to make up for lost time during unpaid meal break.” Is this acceptable? When did the “9-5” become the 9-5:30? Or 6-2:30 I've completed 8 hours, I'm entitled to the break why are we now “making up for it”?
