[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1170618, member: 32753"] This isn't about "working" off the clock that can be revealed by auditing records; the very act itself may or may not be [I]work[/I], depending on perspective. And in regards to your assertion that a DOT auditor doesn't care about one's interpretation of the law, again, concluding that sorting is prohibited by the law is but one's interpretation, for no where is that explicitly found. Why must we split hairs? Don't sort on your lunch, but don't report me to the DOT or mgmt if I do, nevermind I probably wouldn't be in any trouble unless it can be proven I was coerced into doing so. Mind your business. As for the repeated assertion that "skipping one's lunch robs others of FT jobs, or screws the cover with a performance standard one cannot repeat". For starters, already pointed out there are a couple of types who skip their lunch: those who feel they have to, and those who do so because they want to. No one here is defending those who feel they have to, and for those who want to, this law won't change anything for them, nor do I think they should sacrifice their family time so some PTmer can get a job.
