• The 15 minute breaks were paid.

    Now they are only getting the mandatory 30 minute paid break for lunch (which they only have to do if you work over 5 hours in a shift).

    They still get the legally mandated 15 minute breaks; they just aren’t paid for it.

      You get mandatory 30 min paid breaks? For me it’s unpaid lol.

      Scheduled for 5 hours, no 30 minutes necessary.

      Scheduled for 5.5 hours, you get 30 minute unpaid break so you are there for longer but make the same amount of money

        I’m in California, so I get paid breaks, but unpaid lunch. It still comes out to the same as the employees of the place in the meme, really. 🤷‍♂️

        Still getting an hour of time not working; only getting paid for 30 minutes of that time.
