Something is wrong with a system that needs to legislate time to eat. 6

Federal thought (in the US) is that breaks / lunches will be a self-regulating system -- that if a company wants someone to work that long w/o getting a break no one would want to work there. An idealistic, but unrealistic, thought. 8

Site Moderator Popular Post Reader1810 Posted July 21, 2020 Site Moderator Popular Post Posted July 21, 2020 Talk about a temperature drop. The hottest it’s supposed to be (late afternoon) today is 79F (26C). Currently it’s 77F (25C) and my second cup of coffee is hot not iced. Not that I’m complaining, mind you... 4 3
Mikiesboy Posted July 21, 2020 Author Posted July 21, 2020 Still need the A/c on. But that's okay. Doesnt seem like we'll see much cooler weather so... 5
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted July 22, 2020 Site Moderator Posted July 22, 2020 Re-weeded 2/3 of the garden tonight. Why is it, I wear gardening gloves, but my finger nails are still full of dirt? Maybe that cheap 3-pack wasn’t such a bargain after all... Oh well, the garden looks nice, so that’s what counts, right? Anyhoo, I am tired now, so I’m going to sign off for the night. DiCers: to one and all, the sweetest of happy dreams tonight xoxo 1 4

See if my memory is still correct.... Every 4 hours there should be a minimum of 10 minutes paid break (they should be as evenly distributed as possible. Many jobs offer 15 minutes, as it's common practice of the locality). You'll get a 30 min unpaid lunch and another 15 minute for dinner I believe in California, but I may be wrong. You do get 1.5x pay between 8-10th hour, and 10th hour to 12th hour should be 2x pay right (unless you're an exempt worker). As for 30-minute lunch vs 1-hour lunch it's a long debate among people. Some people with multiple jobs don't want long lunch (or lunch time at all, because they need to go to another job). 16 hours ago, Mikiesboy said: So..., I am your weakness? 3 1
