What is the name of your state? GA
Hello quick question!
I may be in the wrong place to talk about this and I apologize if I am.
I work in GA for a technical support helpdesk staffed with about 10 people to assist with live television broadcasts. During the course of the week we may have a lot of shows that are during lunch time. Our schedule is a rotating one where everyone goes to lunch at different times to accomadate stafffing. When we have an influx of calls they order lunch for us and demand that we stay in and answer the phones. We do not get short breaks or meal periods. We actually have to eat while answering the phones. The environment is very stressful and demands short breaks to keep everyone calm but this does not happen. Could someone please advise me on anything that could help with this situation or advise me if the employer is legally safe in doing this to us?
