[QUOTE="soberups, post: 472682, member: 14668"] The only reason lunches are even an issue is that UPS has had a long history of pressuring its people to work off of the clock by rigging its time allowances and dispatching drivers with 10/11 hours of work disguised as an 8.4 hour "planned" day. The lawsuit in CA was less about being able to pull over and take a full hour, and more about simply being paid for all hours worked. They were challenging the corporate policy of intentionally trying to screw people out of an hour's pay. 99% of the time, I want to pull over at noon, take a break and eat lunch like anyone else. But I am also a human being with a family and a life. Occasionally, my kids have a school function or I have something going on in the evening that I would like to get off work early for. In those instances, I am going to skip most or all of my lunch break. When that happens, I enter whatever amount of time I did take for lunch honestly and accurately and I am then paid for all hours worked as per the contract. [/QUOTE]
