First of all, I was never actually told and couldn't find anything in my new hire papers, etc about breaks and lunches. Are our lunches 30 mins? and do we get a 15 min break before & after lunch? Curious about what others do?
Second, if we have to punch out for breaks and lunch, do they expect us to work past our scheduled hours in order to make a full 40 hour week? If you add up the unclocked time from lunch and breaks then the hours will be short. I was wondering this for a long time and keep forgetting to ask my PS.
Oh! One more question. I emailed my PS about this but haven't heard back yet. Since I've been working here, since December, I have never checked the end session box. When I'm done working I just log off. Well, today I read something on Qnet that says (or I think it says) that if you don't, the next job will stay in your que and look like it has been abandoned. Noone has ever said anything to me but I'm going to start checking that box. I just don't like that you have to check it and then do 1 more report before logging off. When I'm done, I want to be done. Some reports, regardless of the length, may take longer than expected due to ESL or having to research or something. And sometimes things come up where I need to be done right away and don't have time for all that. (like getting the kids to school on time, etc)
Just like to hear some of your thoughts. |
