Paid lunch, this should be required across the board. Cool if you got some good paying job (that usually comes with the benefits too), this isn’t about you.
I’m talking about the normal, average, common wage force. If you are hourly you should not have to clock out/not be paid, to cram your face as fast as possible because labor laws say after 6 hours you HAVE to have lunch. You are forced by the law to add and extra 30 minutes to your 8 hour shift (or 6.01). Employers should front this half hour of pay. I find it so dumb I have to waste my time, after 5 day week thats 2.5 hours, that turns a 9-5 to a 8:30-5, so your leaving the house before 8.
I know labor laws are important, but this one requiring a lunch (without pay) is redundant. It’s more to give the employer a buffer to prevent overtime over 40 hours. 9-5 with a 30 minute lunch is a 7.5 work day, that’s 37.5 hours
Maybe I’m wrong, but when I’m in a position, I will make lunch paid
