[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think folks are missing the point of OP’s post. They aren’t asking if they can bill for lunch. They are asking if they need to be at their desk for 8.5 hours. I’m a government employee and we have to be on the clock (if working from home) or at our desks for 8.5 hours so that we can work 8 hours plus have a .5 hour unpaid lunch. That’s what OP is asking. [/quote] Not sure where you work, but a lot of agencies did away with the 8.5 hr rule a while ago. We now just have to be online 8 hrs. [/quote] Where do you work? Not saying it didn't happen -- the government is a big place -- but I haven't heard of this. Even though most of us eat lunch at our desks, the typical person doesn't work 8 hours straight with no breaks to pee or stretch and that's what an 8.5 hour requirement reflects. I've had supervisors hand-wave it so that people could flex their schedules a bit, but that didn't change our official hours.[/quote]
