Why is the law set up so you get to sit down for 15 minutes every 3 hours?

Because before these laws were passed,workers rarely recieved breaks from their employers. They were getting injured due to being overworked. They were tired, and made alot of mistakes. It was inhumane.

by law they are required to give you the money for the vacation time they took away from you. Don't take this sitting down!!

i can't answer for Mississippi law, but federal law mandates paid 15 minute breaks for every 4 hours of work.  There is no federal law regarding lunch breaks.

That is every kind of Illegal...You need to talk to the Attorney Generals Office of your state. They should have enough people working to cover breaks for everyone. You nay all have to have them individually, but to not allow a break is against the law.

That depends on the babysitter, the parents of the babysitter and the parents of the child being baby sat.  This is for the informal babysitting done within the neighborhood.\n\nIf you are talking about what amounts to being a job with reported income, there are typically laws which dictate the work habits of those under 18 and those under 16.

There is no law that says you get any day off.\n\nNow Government workers might get the day off and certain other unions might negotiate to get the day off, but really its up to the employer.

It is a bit too complicated to answer simply. There are various exceptions and in the UK employees can opt out of this regulation in their contracts.\n\nThe basic rights and protections that the Regulations provide are:\n\n    *\n      a limit of an average of 48 hours a week which a worker can be required to work (though workers can choose to work more if they want to).\n    *\n      a limit of an average of 8 hours work in 24 which nightworkers can be required to work.\n    *\n      a right for night workers to receive free health assessments.\n    *\n      a right to 11 hours rest a day.\n    *\n      a right to a day off each week.\n    *\n      a right to an in-work rest break if the working day is longer than 6 hours.\n    *\n      a right to 4 weeks paid leave per year.\n\n\nCurrent position on the opt-out in the UK\n\nAs the opt out is going through a negotiating process in Europe, the UK law remains unchanged on this point and workers are still able to opt-out of the weekly working time limits.  The UK will be given time to implement any changes to legislation and any future developments on this and other Working Time topics will be posted on this website in due course.\n\nMember States discussed a revised proposal from the European Commission at the Employment Council on 2 June.  However there was no agreement on the proposals at this point. \n\n\nFor more details go here:\nhttp://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/employment-legislation/working-time-regs/index.html

Most times not much over minimum wage and when it is larger, you generally don't get the full 40 hours, so most of the benefits are Bye-bye.  Law generally requires a 90 day review.  Most do a 30 day review.

They need not live in the same place where the court is located as they, unlike police officers are not on duty for 24 hours a day. They are not to attend emergencies which is the domain of law enforcing agencies. They are in court when the parties to the case are summoned. Hence, they stay at places convenient enough to attend the Court in time.

There is no time limit.  You must petition the courts (best get an attorney to help) to have this rectified.

Unless you have something in writing stating that your hours won't change, it's perfectly legal.  If it was something drastic (like going from working days to being forced to work nights) you might have a little more pull to state that the job parameters changed considerably and became undoable.  But for goodness sake man - it's an hour.

Your login has a time limit. Usually it is for inactivity.

I believe that if there is only one employee on the property for the entire shift, then he cannot "remove from public view" to eat and rest.  But from what I have been told, a Break MUST be taken. (or at least not paid for)  Most small businesses split that 30 into two 15 minute breaks at the 0.25 and 3/4 marks in the shift for "heavy" snacking.  If a business is that small (like ours) that one person IS the shift, the customers usually don't have a prob. with them snacking at the counter.

Not if you want union dues coming out of your 3 hr paycheck.

Sitting idle in one place for an extended period of time can prove to be detrimental to one's health. Probably they do so to relieve the muscles. And their walking in their offices, is not enough for you to insinuate that they spy on other people.
