Lunch hour

[u2bawooly]

As I understand, if a store does not shut for lunch, a lunch hour cannot be forced upon me. If I sit somewhere outside the dispensary to eat my sandwich, I am still contactable therefore still working. In a small claims court, should a locum claim for their lunch if the store remained open. I always have with no probs, but Boots reps are getting a bit arsy about what they do and don't pay now, since wages became computerised

Re: Lunch hour

If you have to stay on premises, then should be paid. If can leave the premises then unpaid. You cannot choose to stay on premises and be paid.
