Finally free of my job.

[SaiKar]

14 minutes per 4 hours? That sucks. Here it's 15 per 2 hours. Then again, we do have crap jobs that give you only one a day or none at all as well.

Well, lunch is usually guaranteed too, or you'd never be able to get people to take the jobs. I assume Felix at least took THAT. And 14 was a typo, sorry, meant 15.

[drenrin2120]

The 15 minute break thing is a good point. Especially at a big chain restaurant like McDonalds, if you start yelling your worker's rights at a manager they're likely to wet themselves. Still, it's not always easy when you could still lose your job and you kind of make yourself a target unless everyone on 3rd shift was with you.

Also: 3rd shift customers are the absolute worst human beings on the planet.

Screens look good ^_^

I assume you're asking us to comment on the system rather than the mapping.

"Employers do not have to give breaks. However, minors must receive one or two breaks of 30 minutes total if they work more than six hours in one work day.

The problem was, the managers on our shift was just as bullied as we were. There was no one we could talk to.


:edit:
more laws.


Q: Can my employer force me to work overtime?
A: Generally, yes. Absent a collective bargaining agreement or contract that states otherwise, employers in Indiana may set their work hours at their own discretion. The employee may be required to work longer or later hours. In general, there are no laws that define how much notice must be given to the employee or how many hours an employee may work in one shift. Some industries, such as transportation and trucking, may have different safety rules that would require hour limits.

Q: Do I get paid overtime if I work more than 8 hours in a day?
A: Typically, no. Federal and state overtime laws only require payment of overtime when an employee works more than 40 hours in a work week. Some collective bargaining agreements and/or contracts will, however, state that the employee must be paid one and one half times his/her regular rate of pay when working more than 8 hours in a day. This is set on a company-by-company basis, but is not a requirement under state or federal law.

Screenshots are old, that's a test map. Just put in place for me to test things, I.E
ranged attacks, jumping, magic, ect.

Huh. Rough. Indiana kinda sucks. I mean, like, more than usual apparently.

States rights, yo. The USA name isn't just for show. This country is too big and diverse for it not to happen. Letting the states be able to set different laws to support their way of life was one of the ways to agree them to unite in the beginning and has become an important part of our political system.

Also, if one of the United States has economic issues, the others don't go "lol sucks to be you we ain't takin your money enjoy a self-destructive death spiral!"

C:
it's not THAT bad Sai.
But yea, Indiana Labor laws **** you over if you don't have a labor union on your side.

[Cerebus]

I won't say the US suck, but I'm really not disappointed I don't live there.

As for different laws per States, same can be said of the Canadian provinces.

[Felix-0]

yea. It sucked.

[Prpl_Mage]

The European Union probably has more uniform laws than the USA.

This might actually be true.

The States and Canada are both huge. I suppose they might end up getting their own rules and levys about things. But Brazil is huge as well, but then again. I don't suppose Brazil is doing as well.
Kinda hard to speak when our country's population is equal in amount to London or New york or any other metropolis. Like 9,5 million people in an entire country, overall easy to decide upon things. But then again our little brother Norway only got like 5 million people and they even have two state languages...

[Moosetroop11]

The whole point of US states is the different laws. I think it's a pretty cool idea.

[Archem]

It's all about keeping the powers in-check so that we don't end up with some oppressive government. Part of the formula is limiting national government and making sure that the states have enough power to do things for themselves.

It works most of the time. Some of the middle states are a bit odd, but that's what happens when you have limited growth and lots of Jesus.

Pretty much this. Massachusetts does pretty good with workers rights. For the most part, employers are required to give a minimum of a half hour break for an eight hour shift along with one 10 minute break for every four hours worked. Of course, Massachusetts is pretty rough with its taxes and getting an apartment is ****ing ridiculous because of tenant laws, BUT, if you get an apartment you actually have some rights as an individual to fight eviction and force your landlord to fix **** that's broken or not up to code.

[Cerebus]

Man, that sucks. Here, you get two 15 minutes breaks plus lunch (30 or 60 minutes, rarely ever paid) for an 8 hours shift. Minimum wage is $9/hour, too.
However... pretty much everything is more expensive than in the US. Except important stuff like school and healthcare.
