In California, when you take your lunch is also mandated by the law. So even if your employer was okay with the idea, you still have to take it before your 5th working hour.

Yep. While negotiating our last CBA I brought this up as an option. The union told me we're not even allowed to voluntarily wave our lunch break.

Well then it's not yours. And it should be paid. If the labour regulations say you have to take an unpaid break, the labour regulations are bad.

Step back and think about why that regulation exists to begin with. No one said it's perfect but it's better than what was.

Interesting, in Ohio you have to clock out before the 6th hour.

It used to be 5th hour about a decade ago but DeWine be DeWining

[–] oppy1984 1 points 2 months ago

Well that makes sense, pro business DeWine does something that hurts the workers.
