[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1379966, member: 23282"] In some states that may come back to bite you. The employees can SAY all they want at the time, that it doesn't bother them, etc, but in some states there are very specific laws about how often they must be allowed to take breaks per so many hours worked. The break can be unpaid, but absolutely no work related duties can be required, including just answering the phone. All it takes is one disgruntled employee to report it and the employer may be on the hook for some hefty penalties, no mater that the employees agreed to it verbally at the time and seemed to like it. Bigfoot, I hear what you are saying, and agree that it shows quite a lack of class, but in my experience you have to pick your battles with employees and children. If that is the worst thing that you can complain about with today's caliber of entitled employee, consider yourself lucky, especially if there is no affect on productivity as you say. There is actually even a small number of employees who appreciate that little leniency if you let small stuff like that go, and they consider it a perk and one of the nice things about working for you. Most won't appreciate it at all, true, and will expect even more, but some will recognize that it isn't tolerated in many work places at all, and consider themselves lucky. [/QUOTE]
