Hi all,
Just have a quick question that maybe someone more involved in labor law can shed some light on.
As an employee that is paid by the hour ( whether that is relevant or not ), is it unfair practice to be given 1 hour lunch and not be paid for it? I've had a brief look at the DOL website regarding meal intervals and all it states is employees should be provided with 1 hour meal intervals for every 5 hours worked, however states nothing about whether one should be remunerated for it?
Thanks in advance.
