Job Mandatory Break Question
I got a job at one of the big 5 banks a few weeks ago, an office job.
37.5 hours a week so 7.5 hours paid daily.
Included in the 7.5 hours is 30 minutes of paid break.
In Ontario it's mandatory to take a 30 minute lunch break after 5 hours of work.
So is taking a lunch break necessary if you use the 30 mins paid break to eat lunch?
My manager is cool and does not care about anything as long as you put in your 7.5 hours you can come and go as you please. He's more result based oriented.
My managers been on vacation the past two weeks and recently the director (my manager's manager) sent everyone a mass email saying you must take 1 hour lunch breaks everyday and can't shorten your breaks to leave early.
By law we are required to take 30 minute lunches after 5 hours, so even with 1 hour he's pushing it.
I'd prefer just to work 7.5 hours straight and leave so I can go to the gym or enjoy the rest of my day.
If that doesn't work then I'm cool with 7.5 hours + 30 mins mandatory lunch break
I don't want to waste an hour at work everyday.
