[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 669665, member: 10234"] Where I worked, you got two 10 min. paid breaks and 1/2 hour unpaid lunch. If you skipped lunch, you still had 1/2 hour deducted from your time. As others have stated, that's alot of money over a years period that you are giving the company. Not to mention that it is unhealthy not to stop and rest during the day. Some states (DOT) mandate this time off and you are in violation of state law if you do not take it. In other states, while it may not be law, it is still a negotiated item in the contract. We jump on management for not following the contract yet those that do not take their breaks are violating that same contract. It seems to me to be an easily solved problem. Take the darned breaks. There is no excuse for not doing so. As for me...lunch break was the best part of my day. I took it regardless of how screwed up my day was. [/QUOTE]
