Does anyone work in HR or management? Just trying to clear something up...
I know if you work over 6 hours, you're entitled to a lunch break (my work don't pay for lunch breaks).
What if you work exactly 6 hours? Are you entitled to a lunch break then, or not?
I'm thinking about requesting a change to my working pattern when I go back, but it hinges on whether I'd get paid for 6hrs or 5.5hrs for working 8:30 to 2:30.
I work 6 hours Monday and Tuesday and I get 30 minutes paid breaks I split it into 2 x 15 mins. I work 11 hours on a Wednesday and get 1 hour unpaid lunch and 45 minute paid breaks which I split throughout the day whenever I feel like a break, Thursday I work 8 hours and get 30 minutes unpaid lunch and 30 mins paid break and Friday I do 9 hours and get 30 mins paid break and 1 hour unpaid lunch xxx
I work 4 hours on a friday and im entitled to a 15 minute break and 9 hours on a Sunday and get 1 and a half hours so I'd assume 6 hours you would get 15 minutes atleast. My breaks are not paid for x
Oh and just to say they take the break off even if I take it or not
It depends on where you live and the laws. I’m in Virginia and the labor law only requires an unpaid break for minors. If you work exactly 6 hours I would so no, if it says over 6 hours it has to be over 6 hours to get a break.
I'm in the UK.
Employment laws here require a minimum 20 minute break if you work over 6 hours, but I'm not clear on 6 hours itself.
@k1mt, if you work exactly 6 hours you don’t get a break. It has to be over 6 hours. So if you worked 6 hours and 30 mins you would get a break. Because you’re working over 6 hours.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts that's perfect :)
I'm thinking about requesting to work 8:30 to 2:30 (which is 6hrs), but it only works for me if I'm getting 6hrs pay each day.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
For Fun
With most of us in a sleep regression or exhausted from being working moms, or just plain bored I figured it would be fun to get a little game started... so who's up for 2 truths and a lie? It's easy.. you post 3 facts about yourself, 2 true and 1 lie and when you guess you post yours here's mine:
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
Heard back from HR & they've confirmed I would get 6 hours pay for working 8:30-2:30.
Now to persuade hubby my plan might work!
