Reply To: You decide for me

Thank you all for responding, CTL I reside in New Jersey our rules as far as breaks go is every shift up to 5 1/2 hours you are entitled to a 15 paid break and if you work 6 hours you get the 15 and you can choose to take an unpaid meal 6 1/2 hours to 8 and a quarter hour shifts you must take the meal and get one 15 minute break for 8 1/2 you get two 15’s and the meal.

It is a union job so I will not be fired for asking my supervisor about this and also I have an excellent relationship with her she appreciates my work ethic and knows that I only call out when I am indeed sick and I am sure to give her 4 hours notice when i do so again very rarely, and many times I have come in or stayed later when others call out which in the summertime is quite often because a lot of my coworkers are young and when its a nice day they would rather be a the beach than at work.

Blubuh I have mentioned this to a couple coworkers and they agree it is unfair, Flatbusher i am grateful to have a job but they are also grateful to have me.
