I have called my area leader and she claims ” we take working breaks.” I have called h.r and they claim that their policy doesn't break the law, but they are constantly breaking the law.

This is also a company issue and not a location issue as I know it's happening at several store's under my area leader. Does anybody know how I bring consequences on them for all this? There is substantial proof they have been breaking and will keep breaking Illinois labor laws.
