[QUOTE="soberups, post: 895015, member: 14668"] It makes [I]perfect[/I] sense. The company doesnt want you to [I]take[/I] a full 1 hour lunch, they want you to [I]record[/I] a full hour lunch. Mandating a full 1 hour lunch is nothing more than a blatant, cynical attempt on their part to screw a few more people out of pay by coercing them into working off of the clock. They are well aware of the fact that a signifcant percentage of the drivers will not want to take a full hour for the very reasons you describe, and they are counting on them to knuckle under and do the work for free. You need better local language. In my area, the company cannot arbitrarily force you to record a full hour lunch. They are required to pay you according to what you enter into the DIAD and it is up to you the driver to decide whether you want to take an hour, a half hour, or something in between. The [I]only[/I] exceptions are for legitimate service-related issues such as pickups with late close-out times. Im a big boy. I can cross the street by myself, I can go potty by myself, and I can decide for myself whether I want to take a 30 or a 60 minute lunch. I dont need a "management" person to hold my hand and make the decision for me. [/QUOTE]
