How long do you get for lunch?



When I worked all my jobs were 30 minutes, but I skipped lunch if I could to leave early.

 

[Cormac135]

4O minutes, long enough to consume 6", i have the rest of the subway when i get home.

 

[Alistair]

20 minutes paid, an hour if we clock out.

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

Varies. it used to be 30 minutes.

 

[Yooper]

30 minutes, clock out. It can be stretched if necessary and there's help to cover.

 

[NotHardUp1]

We are scheduled for an hour out of a 10 hour day, but many people "work" through it, which is to say, they have lunch at their desk, surf the web, refuse to answer the phone because they're eating, but leave an hour early.

 

[Charon]

Thirty minutes.

 

[sixthson]

How ever long I want.

 

[Rickrock]

I'm retired now, but it used to be one hour.

 

[ronboy]

According to my teacher contract, I am to be allotted a 32 minute duty-free lunch.
That does not account for walking the kids to the cafeteria.
By the time I actually sit down in the faculty room to eat, I have about 25 minutes.

Before I retired I got 30 minutes unpaid with another 5 minutes wash up time before lunch that was paid. On top of that I worked at some place where you got 10-15 minutes break time that was paid.

 

[medic1]

45 minutes here.

 

[unloadonme]

I'm required to take a minimum of 30 minutes under health and safety regulations, but beyond that I'm free to take whatever I want within reason as long as I put in the hours overall.

 

[mbamike]

One hour unpaid.

 

[tarallucci]

Varies. Typically 1 hour.

 

[EJMichaels]

It's been decades since this applied to me, but it was usually an hour, clocked out. The locations did not have food nearby. Left to my own choices, I'd work through lunch if it's a desk job. Not necessarily so I can leave early, but because I don't like stopping to take a "break". At home I always do something while eating lunch.

 

[roadtripboy]

It depends on how many hours I'm scheduled that day. 7 to 8 hours - 1 hour unpaid. 6 to 7 hours - 30 minutes unpaid. 5 1/2 hours and under - no lunch, one 15 minute break paid.

6 hours and up I also get two 15 minute breaks paid in additon to the unpaid lunch.

Now when I worked a the TV station, I really didn't get a scheduled lunch. Sometimes we would go out to lunch if we weren't busy, paid. Most of time I'd bring something from home or go buy something then eat at my desk.

 

[rareboy]

I can take as long as I want, but usually end up like right now eating a sandwich or bowl of soup at my desk.

 

[zoltanspawn]

I don't take breaks, except maybe 5 minutes here or there to eat something. Some people will take a smoke break. Generally, breaks aren't really a thing in this business. If you have a minute and you can grab it, you do. Otherwise you're working.

 

[belamyi]

I never have lunch on weekdays. Ever.
