I have a clerical part-time position at a local business (my hours are 8:30am to 1:30pm four days a week - a 20hrs/week position). My boss has recently required all employees to punch-out for a half-hour lunch. The problem is I now only am working 18hrs. I understand a 6 hour day requires a half-hour break, but how does this effect my situation? Am I under the whim of my employer because I am part-time? Since I was hired for 20hrs, can I stay longer on a couple of days to make up the time....or is this entirely in the employer's hands?
