Reply to comment by Potato_Octopi in Getting Paid Lunches in MA by stuartroelke

It’s a “small” issue but an hour of unpaid leave every day for a year is approximately 300 hours.

300 hours that you are basically tied to your job and can’t choose to do something else and you aren’t getting paid for it.

Employers need to start paying a real version of their employees time. An employee is committing 45 hours per week and only getting paid 40. It’s really pretty simple. That’s not even including the pain and suffering of this commute…

Just have people work 40 hrs no lunch break. Otherwise the employer isn't getting anything out of you eating and will adjust overall comp.
