It depends. Are you required to be on the premises so you can perform work? If you are having an interrupted lunch, then it likely should be paid. I would advise you to speak with an Ohio wage and hour attorney. Feel free to call my office for a free consultation.   Ohio unpaid wages attorney www.mcoffmanlegal.com
