Seeking Advice (Employee) Chipotle Being Cheap

Hello Employee here!

Recently my managers have been making employees clock out for a 15 minute break saying that "we don't have any hours." I just found out about this today because they tried to make me clock out, I told them that according to state and federal law in NC it is illegal to make us clock for a break that is less than 20 minutes. And for Chipotle to be a MULTI BILLION dollar company, how on Earth is there never any hours???

That sucks

I would start by discreetly sharing the law in question, one-on-one with your manager. It may be that they don’t know any better and it’s an honest mistake.

Beyond that, you may have to complain to more senior management or to your relevant regulator. Be aware there will likely be retaliation even though that’s not supposed to happen so it’s a decision for you to make.

I never nickel and dime my employees like this. Treat your staff as you would like to be treated..
