What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Canada (A nation, not a state.)
This just happened yesterday, and I can't resist sharing it with my pals here. Please note that the laws in Canada and the US regarding this particular issue are the same.
Our hourly employees are scheduled for eight-hour shifts with a 30-minute unpaid meal break in the middle of the shift. So for them, one day's pay = 7.5 hours' worth of pay.
So an hourly employee came to me yesterday and demanded to know why he received only 7.5 hours' pay for each day of his recent paid vacation. I said "Well, 7.5 hours' pay is a day's pay, so getting 7.5 hours' pay for each day of your vacation sure sounds correct to me...why do you have a problem with this?"
And he said "I don't eat lunch on my vacation! I never eat lunch on my vacation! So you can't dock my pay for eating lunch when I never eat lunch!!!"
This is absolutely, perfectly true - and hilarious!
