Are breaks and or lunch breaks required by law?

Answered 9 years and 3 months ago by attorney Matthew James Porter Coffman   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Employment
Does your employer automatically deduct a lunch? I ask because many employers automatically deduct lunches from their employees' compensable time. Ohio does not have a law requiring a break or a lunch, but you must be paid for all hours worked. In addition, if you are an hourly employee, you should be paid overtime wages for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.   Ohio overtime lawyer http://mcoffmanlegal.com/ohio-overtime-attorney-flsa/...

Can I get into the military if I've been charger but never convicted?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by Kollin Lawrence Rice (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Employment

Waivers for minor criminal behavior are not unusual, though they must be determined on a case-by-case basis. ?Ultimately this is a question you should ask your military recruiter.... Read More
