    All 50 states though require you are compensated for your work. So if this is a non-salary position still illegal if the break period is unpaid.

    Additionally if his work contract garuntees the break period that still has legal standing

      True, however it isn’t said in the photo that they should not clock back in.

      work contract

      Employment contracts are extremely rare or non-existent in the US.

        Not at all, very common for salary positions

          I work salary and in my industry I’ve never heard of it. I’m sure they exist but I cannot imagine why any company would do it.

          Maybe at executive levels?

            Perhaps you are thinking of contract in too grand a scale, any basic employment agreement stating your hours and company rules is a contract.

              Yeah but those are basically useless as they all contain the boilerplate that basically says that they can be changed at any time for any reason without notice. They don’t bind the employer in any way.

              Well yeah if you’re part of a union maybe.

              Unfortunately that’s 10% or less of working Americans.
