[QUOTE="iruhnman630, post: 670153, member: 14046"] Currently our center requires a 20 min unpaid lunch to be shown in the board, with up to 50 minutes available, along with a paid 10 min break available to us. I have yet to see where the contractual basis is for this 20/10 policy. It is not automatically taken out, but have fun in the office the next day if you don't take...err, show that 20 minutes. I used to be a break skipper, mainly because I really don't like stopping midday and wasting daylight unless I feel the break is needed. I have worked at getting away from that habit, and the idea of sitting in the office for 20 minutes in the evening now seems silly to me. On some of the routes I cover the break times work out well, usually between finishing buisiness deliveries and starting pickups. But I ran a rural route the last few weeks where there was just no good break time, unless I wanted to park and stare at a snow-covered field for 20 minutes, with no bathroom in sight. And by the time I did get back to town and the one or two bathrooms around, it was time to break off and make the +-15 minute commit window on a pickup 18 minutes away. [/QUOTE]
