[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 2431337, member: 44554"] Part time couriers at my Express station, in the Boston area, were told to take a mandatory 20 minute break. We were told that this was to help reduce gap times. How does not working for 20 minutes reduce gap times? Wouldn't this risk lates because closing times may occur during a break? If you don't have lates and get or deliver everything on time, why do gap times matter anyway? For pt'ers who work five hours a day, this is ridiculous. It takes money out of my pocket. I'm uncertain that it's even legal. In Massachusetts you must take a 30 minute break if you work six to eight hours. One hour break if you work longer than eight. From now on I will send dispatch a message if I need to stop to use a bathroom. Just to have it on the record somewhere. Are others getting forced breaks? [/QUOTE]
