Dear WW,
My husband was recently required to visit his EAP. He called, but no one returned his call. Since I have an EAP at my work, I told him to contact mine. The problem: his boss wants him to use their EAP–not mine. Can my husband’s employer force him to go to their EAP instead of using mine? Wondering
Hi.
I’m a nurse at a long term care faciltiy. We are hourly employees… our employer automatically takes 30 minutes off of time each for lunches that we very rarely get to take. If we do get the opportunity to start lunch we are more often than not, interrupted by emergencies, phone calls from physicians, etc.
If we are not able to take a (full) lunch, we have to complete a form and then “prove” we didn’t take a lunch… not to mention put up with “crap” from HR and management.
Is taking the 30 minutes automatically legal???
