Meal Breaks Employees will be set up to receive a 30 minute meal break once per shift. Employees taking breaks of a duration longer than 30 minutes or not taking meal breaks should report the exception to their Payroll Reporter. Punching in and out at a clock overrides the automatic meal break deduction. Having worked the required 6 hours the automatic deduction would occur at 1100 hours. The actual break time does not have to coincide with the automatic deduction time.
Employee is paid a differential for all hours worked in the shift.
Differential Qualification Employee must be punched in for a minimum of 6 hours consecutively and work at least four hours within the differential zone, to qualify for Evening and Night Differential. Employee is only paid for hours worked in each applicable differential zone. The elimination of high and low differential categories and the creation of differential rates based on a percent of base salary has been approved for implementation on July 1, 1999. The actual rates have not been decided upon at this date. All callback is currently handled manually.
