Not getting a break at work?
Find answers to your legal question.





Not getting a break at work?

At my fiance's job they have recently started to schedule his shift with people who can not cover his break. I live in Oregon and it is illegal to not give someone a 30 minute break if they work more than 6 hours and at least one additional 10 minute break if over 6 1/2. He works 81/2 hours and doesn't get either. He has talked to his manager and told them that this is illegal but they say there is nothing they can do about it. What should he do? Is there someone who he can call to report them?

the state's attorney and employment office.

The state labor board. Or tell him to just go and take his break. If they try to harass or fire him, he can take them to court. But I'd try the board first. He might want to check with the EDD on who to contact.
