Has anyone got an answer on how to document breaks? - California

Not really... - Fellow Nuancer

So, the two 15-minute breaks we get "paid" for we do not have to document. They are factored into our production time... which can lower your C-LPH if you're not careful.

For the 30-minute lunch break we just clock out, I guess. There used to be a "break" button in webclock, but it's not there anymore. I'm still waiting on an answer from management since they're cracking down on time punches.

They are working on this and supposedly will - have it figured out by 7/10.

Or so they say. I also clock out for breaks now. If I am not getting paid for something, I am not doing it on my paid time. If that means they have to pay me OT down the road when I push the issue, so be it, but I am NOT letting their no pay guidelines affect my line count. Hell no.

Other than the stress from worrying about money,I can not believe how good it feels to have the giant elephant of stress off of my back. I just had an interview with the people from unemployment. Of course, I think Nuance is trying to fight me getting anything. Thank God my husband was very supportive and saw how Nuance and FIESA were eating me from the inside out! I have been filling out applications and have been on only one interview so far. PLEASE, PLEASE, Don't be foolish like m ...


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.

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 ...

"MEALS/REST BREAKS Employees that are scheduled to work more than six consecutive hours are entitled to two 15 minute paid break periods and ...
