Mandatory lunch break?
I am scheduled to work 40hrs per week. I work 8-4, eight hours a day. I prefer not to take the 30 min unpaid lunch that is provided by my employer. I have a coworker who says to watch out if the Dept. of Labor comes in. Is it mandatory to make someone take that 1/2 hour? I usually eat my lunch at my desk so I am getting a chance to eat. I just want to know otherwise I have to change my work day to 8-4:30 to include my lunch. Thank you for your time.
