Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks?

  The last time I worked hourly was the late 90s. We got a paid 15 break per 4 hours worked. If we worked more than 6 hours, we also got an unpaid 30 minute lunch. I got no benefits because I was part-time at 37.5 hours per week.

      I believe it is where I am too, 36+ is full-time for benefits requirements. Apparently the insurance company asked my employer to please make sure I was working at least 36hrs a week, because for a month or so I was only getting to 32.

    That’s wild that it wasn’t full time. IRS now defines 30 as full-time thankfully

    Imagine being that guy scheduling people for 39.9 hours thinking you’re a goddamn genius.

      The “genius” was the IN state Congress that made it law that 37.5 and under must be considered part time, even for minors. I was working exactly that every week while also going to high school when I was 16.
