Today, due to the high call volume, my company instituted the following:
All employees must take mandatory 1/2 hour lunches, rather than the regular 1 hour. Overtime will be paid for the extra 1/2 hour. Employees are not allowed to leave 1/2 hour early, you must work until your normal time.
Is this legit? It seems to me this would be illegal. This means 8 hour folks had an 8.5 hour day, & 10 hour people had 10.5 hour days. That's messed up.
Would we have the right to refuse that? I know they can cut our lunches short, but can they really tell us we then have to work 'til our normal time?
[EDIT]There we go, all better now...[/EDIT]
