Answer 2

Why did you work there for 4 weeks?

Why did you finally left there?

Did you left or the fired you?

How much per week were you been paid?

How many HRS. per days did you work?

Were you part time or full time worker?

Did you have a contract before you start the job?

You see there are a lot of question for you to answers

before I can give you an honest ans. OK?

Good luck to you, Just try & fiend another Job & look on these questions I ask you and use them next when you get a job OK?

When you get a job and it is not what you want, don't stay there for 4 weeks and try  & get one that you can stay there for 4 years or even 14

years OK my dear?

GOOD LUCK TO YOU MY DEAR!

Answer 3

think it depends on how long you're working for.

your first 3 hours you have right to 15mins, 8 hour day is 15mins and half an hour for lunch.

i could be wrong on the exact numbers, but its close.

Answer 4

Depends entirely on the labor laws of your unknown State.

Answer 5

Much depends on how many hours a day you work. If its under 6 hours then no it isn't illegal.

Answer 6

you need to contact accas they will tell you your rights when working you can find then in yellow pages  

Answer 7

Federal rules are 1 10 min. break and 1 1/2 hour uninterupted meal break after 6hrs of work...states vary.

Answer 8

If you work 6 or more hours you are entitled to a break by law!

Answer 9

for every 2hrs work you get 10mins break 6hrs get 30mins  

Answer 10

Depends on which state you work in.   Here, you would get 15 minutes if you were scheduled 4 hours.  That 15 minute break is optional and is not to be taken outside of the workplace.  

Answer 11

im not sure because i dont know where you live  or how many hours you work...but if they are giving you your lunch "break" and you dont even get it to yourself, then i think they are taking advantage of you...because thats not a real break. you should say something!

Answer 12

In the UK, if you work for eight hours, you are entitled to a break(normally 30 minutes) after you have worked for four hours. If you have any issues, you should go to your local citizen's advice centre. They will be able to give you the proper legal bumph!!

Answer 13

15 minutes per 4 hours + 30 minutes for dinner.

That's the Law! (UK).

Answer 14

It depends how long you work for.  In the UK you can be required to work without a break if your total working day is six hours or less long.
