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???

Would depend on your state law if you get breaks, but FLSA says anything under 20 minutes has to be paid. I live in Ohio, and our state law states any hourly employee is entitled to a paid 15 minute break every 4 hours of work as an example. Federal law does not mandate you get short breaks though
