Every corporate Job I have had, I had an hour lunch break, naturally. My hours were always one of the following:
8am-4pm - 1 hour lunch
9:30am-5:30pm - 1 hour lunch
9:00am-5:00pm - 1 hour lunch
and currently i am independantly contracted (but am really an employee by definition) for a company and Its been a year of 10-6pm, 1 hour lunch break
This equates to 7 hours of work technically and an hour lunch everyday. It is how its been at all of my corporate, LEGITIMATE jobs
My employer said he JUST noticed now after almost two years, that its wrong, and I should be WORKING 8 hours, PLUS a one hour unpaid lunch...what are my rights here? I am apalled! Technically, I suppose I dont even fall into employee rights because they have me 1099 contractor (for their ow tax benefits)
Any ideas? I fought with him till the death about it last friday...Id like to know if im actually right and what I can do (besides quit lol)
