Someone help me understand

Okay I was scheduled from 10am to 3. They asked me to stay over. So I took my lunch at 3. Am I going to get in trouble? I am in ohio

That depends on the state you are at . We have to take our lunch before 5 hours . But some states are at 6hrs . If you are a 5hr state, then you might be in trouble . Pls ask your HR .

 

[rd123]

Looks like Ohio is a 5hrs state .

Did you clock in at 9:59, 10, or 10:01? Did you clock out for lunch at 2:57 or 3:05? I've hit compliance a few times. Usually, I just "forget to clock back in" from my meal and let HR "fix it" or I'll do a punch correction, if I have the time. You can check your punches in Kronos. Don't stress over it, but don't do it again. If you are in a 6 hour state, nevermind, you're fine.

I clocked in at 9:59 and clocked out for lunch at 2:59

You should be ok.

If you are in a 5th hour state , you hit meal compliance with the times above.

Correct. You need to punch our BEFORE you hit your 5th or 6th hour. You missed it by a minute.

 

[rd123]

I always wonder that , is our HR allowed to do punch correction if we hit compliance by a couple minutes or so?!

Technically no. But if you never punched back IN from that lunch they might assume you didn't go into compliance.

In my store they don't schedule people five hour shifts just because of this reason. Usually it's four and a half or six hours. Connecticut is a five and half hour state but we follow the five-hour rule.

Technically Ohio has no rules about meal breaks for anyone over 18, but I believe Target mandates stores in states without meal requirements follow the five-hour rule.

I have a friend in Ohio at spot. It’s 6 hours.

I think it is 5 hours for minors in Ohio. I looked it up the other day, but I don't live there.
