Archived Question regarding compliance.....

[Derp00]

Hello everyone. At the Target in which I work, team members are given one paid 15 minute break and one unpaid 30 minute break if they work at least six hours. Tonight I was scheduled to work from 6:30-12:00. We got a bit busy so I stayed till 12:20 to finish up some reshop and clocked out at that time (LOD had no issue with me staying). I am just a bit nervous about compliance. I know that I did not surpass 6 hours, but does me cutting it so close bring up any compliance issues?

It shouldn't as long as you didn't hit 6 hours

As far as I know, as long as your name isn't on a report in HR, you're fine.

And as long as you didn't hit 6 hours, your name won't be on a report...... I'm like 98% sure.

I can say for sure though that I've worked for 5 hours and 50 minutes without a "15", and no one ever said anything.

You are ok. You were cutting a little close.

Why would you work that long without taking your break? Nothing you do is worth skipping a break.

Some stores will go ahead and schedule a lunch if you are scheduled 5.5 hours or exactly 6 hours. But as long as you are 5:59 hours or under you are good.

You'll be fine, I cut it at least that close a few times a week. Just keep your start time in mind next time you stay late (and if you clock in 5 minutes early, that still counts towards the 6 hours).

I've skipped breaks before if I'm busy or would rather just not take it but i haven't skipped a meal before. But no one tracks my breaks or lunches and my TL has skipped her breaks plenty of times just because she doesn't like to take them.

All you do is hurt yourself when they continue to raise expectations and keep expecting more in less time. Believe me, Target doesn't give one wit about you....no need to give them extra time for their benefit.
