How much time should a PAID LUNCH BREAK be? Should it be paid at all?










What are your thoughts on this? How much time do YOU get?

I personally get an hour break and I love it, although if I ever get it cut down to 30 minutes or so I'd understand. Less than that is just cruel.

I currently have a one hour unpaid lunch. I'd love to have that hour paid, so I can go home an hour sooner.

Never had a paid lunch. All my jobs were more 8-5s instead of 9-5s because lunch was unpaid.

Would love to work an hour less though lol

Unless maybe if you're self-employed, there is no such thing as a paid lunch break.

My job doesn't pay me for 30 minutes a day and I don't even get relieved for lunch. I have an unpaid lunch every day I don't even get.

I fucking hate these criminals. I've complained about it for years and they act like they don't understand anything.

Currently, 9 people don't realize you're still captive even if you're not producing. My employer should be paying me for my time. It's certainly not my time, it's a little break.

You are to be paid for every minute you work. This is an FLSA complaint if they aren't allowing you the time without work, and not paying you for that time.

I get unpaid lunches, 1 hour. I would go for a 30 minute paid lunch though. You don't lose your momentum. An hour lunch is cool and all but usually takes a little while to get back into the groove.

Paid lunch would be nice, but we don't even have mandatory unpaid breaks nationwide yet. The very concept of a break is optional in some states.

If you're not allowed to leave the premises for lunch, it better be paid.

It is optional in my state. That's never stopped any of my employers from insisting I take breaks and lunches. I've worked for a lot of trashy corps, like Comcast. Everyone single one of them insisted I take a break despite not having to give me one.
Literally not an issue.

It should be part of your your work day. No 8-5 or 9-6 BS, you should just get an hour to have lunch every day
