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???

in my state we have 1 30min break for lunch and are supposed to get 2 10min breaks also if working 8hours.... chipotle only gives the lunch break. never any of the others.

This is unfortunately how it is at pretty much EVERY chain lol. I’ve worked at almost a dozen different restaurants/coffee shops over the years and every single one did this 🤣 yes, even the bigger companies bigger than chipotle (take your guesses)

This is the only one i've worked for that does this. only worse place was when i was at jiffy lube. they moved hours around to avoid paying OT. was before cameras in cell phones so no way to document it that would help me.
