Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania
breaks and lunches
I work in a national franchise clothing company at the local mall. What are the laws concerning breaks and lunches- i.e.- after how many hours am I entitled to a 'break'? and for how long? lunch? etc. Also, sometimes I am to be at work at say, 9 am and have to wait until one of the managers get there to open the store andlet me in, usually a half hour. Aren't I entitled to be compensated for this?
