Well... Is that 37.5 including your break time? When I worked at CRA 37.5 was considered full time as the remaining 2.5 hours went to my 5 30 minute breaks Posted via RS Mobile | |

some companies have employees work 42.5hrs a week and minus the lunch each day, that equals 40hrs paid each week.
ask your boss if you can stay the extra 30mins each day if you feel like you're getting ripped off, or dont take lunch breaks.

how are you getting ripped off if you are NOT working for 30mins each day?
Law requires that each employer give each employee
1 - 30min break
2 - 2x 15 min paid breaks
your coffee breaks are suppose to be 2.5hrs apart
8am start
10am - coffee break #1
12pm - lunch break
2pm coffee break #2
4pm -go home

My ex-employers only let us take 15minutes breaks, sometimes they say when its busy, i dont get a break. I was always wondering about that too.
and i worked 37+hours a week, and they keep me as "part-time".
i asked about being changed to "full-time" they said they can't... too much benefit.

if you work 4hrs consecutively you are entitled to one(1) 15min PAID break.
if you work 5 hours you are supposed to get one(1) 15 min paid break , one(1) 30 min UNPAID lunch break. Quote:

yeah, i would never get a break if it was busy and i was working a 4 or 5 hour shift. only breaks i would get was a 30 min because it was mandatory, can't i sue or anything? since my break isn't even a 15 min, it's a 10 min only haha

4pm -go home | In BC your employer is only required to give you one 30 minute break (unpaid) if working more then 5 hours. Coffee breaks are not required by law.
In the past we've taken coffee breaks away when employees abuse them, privelage not a right.
Me personally, I don't get a set out lunch or coffee break. Somedays I'll work 11 hours (paid for 8) with no breaks and other days I'll take a 90 minute lunch or leave early. I figure it all evens out in the end. http://www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb/esaguide/#3

It could be the policy of your company to give those breaks. Most companies do give coffee breaks but they aren't required by law.

At some jobs you could be classified casual part time and working full time hours for a long period of time. If you worked with me 40 hours a week would be considered full time. If you worked with my wife 37.5 hours would be considered full time hours but you might not be classified a full time employee.

In couple of months, i worked over 160hrs a month. (that would be over 75hours /2weeks.) In my 12months working there, half of the time..... i work way over FT hours. and yet, they dont pay me benefit.
