yeaDo you understand that your break is to be a paid break and depending on your supplement it does not matter how many hrs you work each shift is guaranteed a paid 10 minute break?

peak season is around the corner so more hours is comingIf you aren't going to read through the threads then do not bother responding. I have said at least 3 times in 3 different posts that forfeiting the guarantee means it is HIS FAULT not the companies.
It IS however the companies fault for lying to part-timers, and you KNOW as well as I do, that the company does this as well. Saying they are not guaranteed the time because of the economy is a flat out lie.
I've had this problem a few times. It wasn't the high managers fault it was more of my supervisors. Where I work we have a break usually after 2 hours of work, depending on the day. The whole building shuts off and everyone goes on break. (loaders, unloaders, sorters etc..) When this happened to me it was last peak season, it was probably a 7 hour shift. We all had our break as usual, our belt and probably the whole building was getting destroyed because it was peak, so our supervisor made us work on break and he said we would get one later. Well it was getting around 8pm and I was getting thirsty, hungry, I always bring a snack to break and my supervisor was no where to be found. I was getting ready to just go on break myself but I didn't want to get in trouble. My supervisor was busy that night doing god knows what, and I never ended up getting a break.
I understand that we're getting killed but I think everyone needs to take a break at the same time. I'm only part time so we get 10 minute breaks. Usually I work 5-6 hours a day, but peak season I've worked 9-10 hour days, and I know that 10 minute break is necessary for me to function. It's happened to me a few times and it really sucks.
Don't know how this is related to the thread, I just saw the first post and thought I'd share my non break story.
You definitely need a break. I can only assume you're working a belt with non-stop packages coming by

I did read through the thread and I see someone posting here who was not paying attention to what you told him despite numerous attempts to do so. I don't think we should be accusing his management folks of any crimes when this guy does not come across as being credible. The answer is there in his posts if you would care to read through them and comprehend what this guy is really telling you. Hopefully you'll never be tried and convicted as quickly as you yourself have been willing to try and convict them.
