What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
I have an existing salaried contract with my employer that states that I must take a mandatory lunch between 12-1, yet they schedule me for work during this period. Even though I have signed service orders, they change my records daily in our tracking program to reflect this one hour lunch (even though I haven't taken one), and yet still charge the client for the whole time I was there.
For example. I'm dispatched at 8:00am, and the Job completes at 7:00pm. Due to service requirements, the Job takes 11 hours to perform. Even though I was unable to take a lunch, they deduct 1 hour from my 11 hour day (they modify my computer based entries every time), however, they still bill the customer for 11 Hours.
Example 2: I am provided a service order 1/2 hour away at 11:30am that starts at 12:00pm. I go without lunch and work the job until 5:00pm. Once again, they change my entries to reflect that I took my hour of lunch, but charge the customer for 5 hours.
Is this illegal? Do I have any recourse? If so, do I have to attain an attorney.
