Hi,

My question is pertaining to lunch hour: I am a Managing Calendar Clerk on a annually salary and yet I punch a time clock every day I was told I have an hour lunch and (2) two (15) fifteen minute breaks I which I have never taken a break since the day I started I get into work earlier then I am suppose to and I work past my time at night and yet everyday they ask me if I am going to eat at my desk. Now they tell me my lunch hour is at 1 pm which isn’t always a good time for me regarding with my work that I do. So if I leave anytime after that I am only aloud to have lunch from the time I leave till 2 even if it is at 1:45.

Please tell me what are my legal rights as far as my lunch hour?.

What state do you live in? Regulations vary from state to state.

I Work In New Jersey, I Would Like To Know If There Is A Mandatory Law
That States A Person Has To Take A Lunch Break, Also Is There A Limit To
Overtime A Employer Can Force A Person To Work.
