| Work Hours Regulation
I received an offering letter and the hours states
Your salary is based on 40 working hours per week.
Lunch hour is in addition to the 40 hours and taken
from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. each day.
Can anyone clarify for what that sentence means?
For my understanding, I am required to work 8 hours per day (40/5)
Lunch break (1hour) is not included in the 8 hours per day
therefore I will pretty much be outside for (8hours work+1hour lunch)9 hours?

Your 1 hour lunch is included in your "8 hours of work".
I get scheduled for "8 hours of work" however, I get 2 15 minute breaks and a 1 hour lunch. I technically work for 6 hours and 30 minutes = 8 hours
Not sure if this is your first job or something, but from my current job and previous ones thats how it went.
Hope it makes sense lol

In addition, meaning, is added or is on top so is not included in the 40 hours???
Edit: I dont know if this has anything related, but I'm in IT field, DBA & Application Development

really? that's awesome
ok how about this
the offer letter also wrote
"Overtime hours during the week are not
remunerated."
does that means if I need to work extra hours during Mon-Fri, the extra hours I put in will not be compensated. I will only get overtime pay if I was required to work on Sat/Sun
correct?

I think it means whichever day you work overtime past your shift (including the weekends), you won't get paid for it no matter which day.

To be perfectly honest, not a lot of employers/companies are going to be PAYING you for an hour for you to eat. Quote:

correct? | Correct, they are not going to pay you for any overtime. I would check with the Employment Standards Board about this. Unless there are special rules in your industry, it is against the law by not paying overtime. Government of B.C., Ministry of Labour, Employment Standards Branch, A Guide to B.C.

This is from the Ministry of Labour Quote:
Overtime
Daily overtime pay is time-and-a-half after eight hours worked in a day and double time after 12 hours worked in a day.
Weekly overtime is time-and-a-half after 40 hours worked in a week. Only the first eight hours worked in a day count towards weekly overtime.
| I believe the second part relates to you. If you work 10 hours one day but your total hours for the week is 40 hours you will not be eligible for overtime pay. But if you exceed the 40 hour work week than you will get overtime paid to you. But confirm with them.

Unless there are special rules in your industry, it is against the law by not paying overtime. Government of B.C., Ministry of Labour, Employment Standards Branch, A Guide to B.C. Employment Standards | This is exactly how it is at my work. I'm on salary I don't get paid any overtime and there is a lot of days I stay late. I also get a one hour unpaid lunch, half the time I work through it well I eat. Sounds kind of shitty but the flip side is if I ever need to leave early, show up late or want a day off it's never an issue and it's paid. I can pretty much come and go as I like as long as my work is getting done, I can even work from home if I want but I find I don't have the discipline so rarely do it.
It's all about give and take, having a good relationship with your employer. Now if they wanted to dock me those days I can't come in because my kids sick or I have a Doctors appointment I'd have a problem.

Unfortunately your lunch break is not included in the 8 hour day. So you will technically be working a 9 hour day. Are you on salary? your post is unclear? I work in Labour Relations so shoot me a PM if you need more info.. If you are on salary then that means you wont be getting paid overtime. They will expect you to work until the job is done. Eventually when you have built a trusting relationship with your company, you will be able to work and get your job done with some give or take. Like the post above mine says, some days you will work your ass off and be at the office for 11 hours and other days you can kick after about 6 hours. At the end of the year, it should even out.

OP's asking if he works 8 hours + 1 hour unpaid lunch break = 9 hour scheduled shift
or
7 hours + 1 hour unpaid lunch break = 8 hour scheduled shift

Didn't wanna make a new thread, but does anyone know what's the maximum number of weekly hours for part-time work? Is it also 40 weekly hours before 1.5x pay?

7 hours + 1 hour unpaid lunch break = 8 hour scheduled shift | He would be doing a 9 hr shift a day to get his 8 worked hours a day plus 1 hour unpaid lunch in if he's only working 5 days a week to total 40 working hours.

^^ I'm just taking a random guess and going to say you work for a union.  Quote:

(Depending on how your company works, you could be paid 1.5x pay after 8 hours.. if this is true part time work)
