Hi I tried to post earlier with a screen shot but it was removed.
I currently work in a call center. Basically management sent us an email saying we can chose to opt out of paid breaks for an increase in hourly wage where we would still take home the same amount each day
Example:
Current Model: Jeff earns $15 per hour and is scheduled for 8.5 hours, That's an 8-hour paid day: $15 x 8 hours = $120 for that
day.
New model: Jeff's hourly rate increases to $16. He is scheduled for 8.5 hours, results in a 7.5-hour paid day: $16 x 7.5 hours =
$120 for that day.
I don't know if this is in my best interest or not. It has not been made clear exactly what new my hourly wage would be. It's common for my place of work to regularly increase/decrease shift length based on call volume
