[QUOTE="Maui, post: 1202561, member: 45037"] The biggest reason is compliance with CA law. The law states that an employee must have a 30 minute duty free meal period if working more than 5 hours. That can be waived to 6 hours and always is at Express and must be taken within the first 5.5 hours of work. CA law also requires another 30 minute duty free lunch if working more than 10.5 hours, but that can also be waived if working less than 12. If you work 12 hours, punch in to punch out, then you MUST take that second 30 before your 10th hour. Most managers did not know the law and were giving bad info. Also if you take an hour and go over then you would have to take a SEPERATE ADDITIONAL 30. This stops that. FedEx settled a lawsuit about not complying with the law. If you do not take a break, then FedEx must pay the hours worked plus an additional hour's pay. The same is true if you work during your break. This memo clarifies the expectation to coincide with CA law. Many transportation companies in CA have settles similar lawsuits. [/QUOTE]
