[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1529120, member: 8481"] For the longest time, UPS counted your lunch into your hours of service. And we were told to count our lunch into the hours of service. This changed last year. UPS's lawyers finally figured out that your lunch is off duty time. You can do what you want during that lunch period. Play golf, swim, sleep, whatever. It is now considered off duty and does not count toward your hours of service. As a matter of fact, your breaks do not count into hours of service either. They are also off duty time. Here in the Central, we get a half hour unpaid meal/lunch and two 10 minutes paid breaks. Since the meal/lunch is unpaid, it does not count as time worked, but the 10 minute breaks do count as time worked for payroll purposes, but they are also off duty for DOT purposes.. So here in the Central, you can actually get paid for 61.66 hours for the week. You got paid for more than 60 hours, but did not work more than 60 hours. Subtract ten 10 minute breaks (off duty) from 61.66 and you have only 60 DOT hours worked. So no, you are not in trouble. If you took breaks during the week, they didn't count either so you are probably not even close to 59.97. You may have been able to work another hour or so. [/QUOTE]
