Thankfully, at Target, our breaks didn’t officially start until we checked out. And the time clock was just inside the employee only area. So if this happened at Target, we were still on the clock.
And on a side note, they were also programmed to not let us go back in until exactly 30 minutes passed.
They were programmed to not let you clock back in, not to stop you being sent back to work before the 30 minutes. It is so they can prove people are *entitled* to breaks, not so that people can get them.
Always. Alllll ways….

I hear the Mission: Impossible theme music whenever I read this comic.
Also, at Target, managers are fired if they force employees to work off the clock, because Target doesn’t want to be like the W-word.
