  You’re supposed to get paid for that.

    “Supposed to” according to what?

    If you’re in the US, Federal labor laws explicitly allow “meal periods” to not be paid, though short breaks must be paid. Neither is required to be offered to employees, though.

    State laws differ, of course, and many states - e.g., California - have much more employee-friendly laws. However, even in CA, a meal period must be offered but isn’t required to be paid (unless it’s an on-duty meal break).

      But do you get paid for 8 hour days or 9 hour days?

      8 to 5 is 9 hours. They don’t get to not pay you for your lunch break.

        You get paid for the month. You arent paid by the hour, you are paid for working for them.

        Its a different mindset
