bathroom breaks, etc. - bms
Posted: May 13, 2015
I have recently stopped punching in and out for bathroom breaks, coffee, stretching, etc., because in the work place no one has to punch out to use the bathroom, etc. I feel this is very unfair to expect us to punch in and out to use the bathroom. Anyone else?

Totally agree - lovemydane
[ In Reply To ..]I tried to tell my HDSM that but still got in trouble for "inactive" time and was told to "fix it."

[ In Reply To ..]I ended up in trouble even though I was reaching the 150 lph. I tried to tell my HDSM that is not fair. By the way my HDSM has never transcribed.

[ In Reply To ..]One of the many reasons I wanted out; tried to tell me that nobody allows you to do all that when you're working, while I was already doing a second job that yes, allowed bathroom breaks, getting coffee, phone calls, etc., WHILE I WAS CLOCKED IN! HA! crock of crap!
I usually do, not always, but my PTO rate is - higher if I do. NM

unless i'm actually taking a break - moonchild
[ In Reply To ..]like, 15 or 20 minutes away from my desk, i never punch in or out. i have never been spoken to about my inactive time and if i ever am, i will just laugh. because...these people and their little rules are laughable. just leave me alone and let me collect my tiny paycheck, thats all i ask.
I only punch out for a lunch break, like a normal job. - nm

HOW OFTEN DO YOU TAKE BREAKS?
Nov 10, 2009
When you guys type how often do you take breaks? Do you find that if you take frequent breaks - say every hour or hour and a half for about 5 minutes that you are more productive? Or do you sit and type for more than 2 hours straight without stopping? Just wondering how often others take breaks. This was also one of the "tips" given by the top producers of the company according to MQ. They claimed these folks took frequent breaks but went hard at it for an hour or s ...

I lost the email, but supposedly I get a 10-minute break after 4 hours. Do I clock out of DQS but stay clocked on at ScheduleSource or do I stay logged onto both and walk away from the computer for 10 minutes? Does it show up on the time card or only on the pay stub. Does anyone know the details? Thank you. ...
Re PTO Taxes, Breaks
Jul 03, 2012
ok here's the dirt from payroll. If you are paid a lump sum such as PTO, the IRS considers it "supplemental" and taxes it at 25%! So, if you're considering leaving, best to take all the PTO you have before. Wish I would have known that before. As far as paid breaks, I didn't realize it was "state" dependent...so thanks for that information. Cudos for KY this time requiring a break after 4 hours. Either way, it would not have mattered to me as I took a break whenev ...

Has anyone every received an employee handbook? I found this quite interesting, especially the part about state compliance with paid breaks. I am sure the labor commissioner is going to love that sentence stating taking breaks may affect your MUP/benefit eligibility/weekly hour requirements. How are they going to explain how this is a paid break? "MEALS/REST BREAKS Employees that are scheduled to work more than six consecutive hours are entitled to two 15 minute paid break periods and ...

In my state, there are supposed to be 2 paid 15-minute breaks if one works 8 hours. I questioned my company HR about this and was told "there was a slight amount added to our line rate" to cover this. What?? how is that a break. I am wondering: 1. How many companies do this? 2. Do any pay for the 15-minute break? 3. How many states honor this? (check with your state Labor Relations Board). ? ] 4. Is there a legal ...

"Paid" Breaks... Again...
Apr 05, 2013
It's pretty obvious that we are not being paid for our "paid" breaks to which we are entitled which really irks me to say the least. Have any of you done the math on this? I just did. If you took your 2 breaks per day and were paid for them, that would be equal to 1/2 hour of paid time. Let's just say you make $8/hr. That's equal to $4/day in paid breaks or $20/week if you work 5 days/wk. Multiply this x52 weeks = $1040/yr. I've been with Nuance since they b ...
