How to combine meals and breaks
Hello
My company pays for breaks but not meals. As a practice, we let employees take their breaks immediately after their meals, so they can have a longer lunch break (1/2 hour unpaid meal + 15 min paid break = 45 min off). Meals and breaks are different punch types, but it would not be a good practice to ask the employee to return from lunch in order to punch out and go on break as it would defeat the purpose of extending their lunch.
I know this is a long shot, but has anyone ever combined meals and breaks into a single set of punches?
