Re: Lunch
If your employer is not paying you for all hours worked, and you have being deducted for time (like a lunch break) which isnt being taken, then your employer would likely be violating the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for any and all weeks in which you have worked over 40 hours (meaning worked overtime). Please consult with an attorney to learn what specific rights you have and to this end please feel free to contact us for further assistance.
