[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 930628, member: 18044"] When you are On Lunch you are [U]not[/U] On Duty. The legal definition of "lunch period" is that you are allowed to [U]leave[/U] [U]the[/U] [U]area[/U] and are not responsible for minding the Company's equiptment. (If Management orders you to stay with the vehicle, they must pay you for your lunch period.) You are free to leave the area and not look back for the duration of an unpaid lunch. So one approach is to assert your right to drive to the nearest facility that has heat, bathrooms, sinks, and food, no matter how far away that is. (You must park legally, and secure the vehicle if leaving it unattended, however.) The other apporach is to [U]voluntarily[/U] remain in your vehicle and idle your engine as often as necessary to stay warm. UPS is free to discipline the original software guy who programed lunchtime Telematics incorrectly, or to re-program the software now, or to simply interpret any Telematics lunchtime data like someone with common sense would.
