Righetti & Glugoski, PC are seeking quality assurance testers for a (potential) class-action lawsuit from those who worked at Take Two Interactive between November 2006 and April 2007. We all know quality assurance testers have one of the toughest jobs around but the lawsuit alleges that Take Two Interactive made testers’ jobs more difficult by: "not receiving at least minimum wage for compensation." Testers were also denied [providing] required meal and rest breaks, and Take Two Interactive failed to provide compensation when those breaks were missed.
So, several questions here: * In the drive for tort reform, to limit needless court cases than limit the ability for businesses to perform, should employees be denied the ability to sue over what Take Two is going through here. * Do workers have a right to restroom and meal breaks, or should this merely be determined by what the marketplace says? * Should the government be involved in any way here and pass laws against this? |
In the USA you are required by law to have a 30 mins break if you work 6 hrs+ ... if you work more then 10+ .. you are required a 30 min break off the clock AND TWO 15 min breaks 'on the clock'... I work 12-14 hour days.. but I only work 3 days a week.. so I get around 40 hours in 3 days..and i have 4 days off..
