I think the question is whether that "make up" time is always 1 hour or can be adjusted. At my previous job I would regularly take 15 minute lunch breaks and leave 45 minutes early (compared to a 1 hour lunch).
Where I work now local laws require taking at least 1 hours of breaktime per day so I can technically not do that.
- xf1cf 5y agoI think this is based on local laws, yeah. Where I am at you're required to take a 30 minute break for 6 hours of work. The stipulation is that 30 minutes must be a continuous 30 minutes. I'm not aware of any law anywhere that says you can't just make your last 30 minutes of the day "lunch" but every company I've ever worked at has frowned upon or discouraged this. Usually by "forced clockouts" ostensibly for legal protection. My salary career has been more lenient but when I was an hourly employee if we ran over the 6 hours we'd get yelled at by HR and/or force clocked out (and told to go to lunch). Labor laws in the states are quite precarious for employers so it's semi-understandable why they do this.
