For non-salary workers, in your "8 hour" work day there is a certain mandated amount of break time. X minutes per Y hours, for example, plus time for lunch. They might have taken 8 hours and subtracted two 15-minute breaks.
I'm not sure if the 8 hours is intended to be (8h + X break time), or (8h - X break time); I thought it was the former, but but might be mistaken. That's probably where the GP got their 7.5 from.
- lotsofpulp 9y agoIn the USA, there is no federal requirement for break time.
- gknoy 9y agoHow true! However, there are some at state levels. For example [0]: (2018) Under California law (which is much more generous to employees than federal law), if you are a non-exempt worker, you are entitled to meal and rest breaks: a 30-minute meal break if you work more than 5 hours in a workday, and 10 minutes breaks for every 4 hours you work For an 8-hour work day, that would yield a 30 minute break + two ten minute ones. 0: https://calaborlaw.com/what-break-periods-am-i-entitled-to/ https://calaborlaw.com/what-break-periods-am-i-entitled-to/
