[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1189371, member: 44954"] Well first you said 5 hours and you were talking about a 10 minute break not an hour break. Since they were not given a 30 minute meal break and their shift went over 6 hours, they are entitled to be compensated with an hour's wage. I'm not sure why you didn't want to give it to them. Working without a break simply earns them more money.
