[QUOTE="Steelheader, post: 209332, member: 1814"] I'm in Washington, and we've had this feature for about 2 years now. Your computer will give you a prompt at the 4 hour 30 min mark letting you know you are intitled to a lunchbreak and should take one. It will NOT shut down automatically. You have to do it. Once you punch in your lunch, it'll ask you how long of lunch you want to take. So far, the company has not made us take a full hour. But, in our state, the law states 30 minutes for lunch. The company cannot set standards above the states, so we are allowed to take a 30 (thank God). Once you hit the time frame you want to take and hit enter, it'll ask you if you still want to take lunch. Once you hit yes, it goes to sleep. Has a prompt that say something like "you are to take your full lunch per local bilaws" or something like that. It will show a countdown if you hit a button on your DIAD. But it won't stay lit the whole time. One cool feature is you get a 5 minute warning before your lunch is over. Computer lights up and makes a loud beeping sound. Then countsdown the last 5 minutes. You do not have a settime to take your lunch, though it'll tell you to take it. It won't shut down on it's own. You can take your lunch during whatever time frame your state denotes (which an end of day lunch I'd assume is out of every states codes). We've had a few drivers win grievences over taking a lunch in the 3rd hour (not in agreement, but legal by states standards). He won. [/QUOTE]
