I started my new job and I'm somewhat confused about the break situation. I don't want to start right out being the whiner though. I am schedule eight and half hours which usually stretched into nine or ten hours I'm paid by the hour and the only break we are given is a one half hour unpaid lunch. I thought we were supposed to be given some paid fifteen minute breaks. Nobody mentions them at all.....so I figure I best keep my moth shut This is in NH.
Do like e veryone else in your situation....MAKE YOUR OWN BREAK...but don't tell my boss that I told you
Well I would totally do that, but, I am a pharmacy tech and I am at a Rite Aid that has a crappy computer system and we are so busy and confused that we don't even have time to go to the bathroom let alone just take a random break I wouldn't be surprised if I just walk out in the next few weeks

Federal and state law only provide for an unpaid meal break of min 30 minutes after 5 hours work. There's no provision for paid rest breaks, that's entirely up to the discretion of the employer.
Then why not go back THERE and work... I mean if it's so much better, then why are you HERE?
Because I LIVE here now - which doesn't mean I give up my right to say what I think
