Louisiana Laws - Louisiana State Legislature. No minor shall be employed, permitted, or suffered to work for any five-hour period without one interval of at least thirty minutes within such period for meals.
I know they have systems that correct this, but then again thats a huge cost to a small business so we are making it harder and harder for small businesses.
Your huge corporate franchise prob has the new and cool POS systems, but your mom and pop might not.

We're repealing a child labor protection that requires that minors be provided a 30 minute break if they are scheduled to work a five hour period. There's no way to "spin" this.
You're repealing a law that micro-manages the agreement between employer and employee. That's a good thing that doesn't need spinning.

This board constantly talks about how this geveration is the most lazy in history. You think they want to skip breaks??

Thinking you are mocking someone as somehow being faux "conservative" for taking a stance that maybe we don't need to actually legislate bullshite like this.

It’s a basic feature in any time tracking software.
I guess if the mom and pop is keeping time records in a notebook,‘then it would be a concern.
I’ve worked with a lot of small businesses. Almost all of them use software or a system of some sort. The ones that use a notebook tend to have payroll issues and tend to not attract teen workers.

So we need to protect 16 year olds from a teacher using their preferred nickname, but not from their employer?

The ones who actually get a job at that age aren’t part of the problem.
You obviously never worked in the service industry at that age. You get to work and 2.5 hours later you’re forced to take a break. It’s absurd and not needed.

Want to know how to give labor unions a foothold in your state? Repeal child labor laws and force children to work 8 hour shifts with no breaks.

It went through a chamber, it didn't even go to a full house vote yet. Nothing about this bill has passed

Wrong.
The bill originated in the House. The vote total you're viewing is the vote total from the Senate (which has 39 seats). Bills that originate in the House and receive a Senate vote have already been passed in the House.
Only 37 of the 39 Senators in the Louisiana Senate voted on this bill.
This means that the next step is back to the House (for the full House to concur in the amendments to the bill adopted in the Senate), for the Speaker to sign it, and then to the governor's desk.

You know what grinds my gears are places that expect you to be at work 10 or 15 minutes before your shift starts and you can’t clock in until 8 am. Then when everyone in management is racing to leave at 5 pm. You are stuck there finishing your work because they need it quick and they have no concept of time when they ask for something and give you no time to prepare or continue saddle you with your other responsibilities.
On the flip side Walmart got in trouble a few years ago when most stores closed at 9 pm. They would lock the front doors and while management might be busy balancing the tills or tending to the overnight crew, they would forget to let the employees that were scheduled to get off or clock out at 9 pm. Some employees that even waited to punch when they officially left the store were penalized by the managers going back and pencil whipping the clock to reflect the 9 pm end of shift.

What about legislation from unwashed decks or 'cock'pit areas.
We should have legislation to keep our fleet clean, yes?

Is the teacher paid by the state? That's a pretty big factor when talking about state interference. For a conservative, I mean. I don't know if that describes you or not.
To my knowledge Florida doesn't have a similar law, or didn't 40 years ago. I managed to not only survive, I don't remember breaks ever being a point of contention. I worked fast food and construction through HS and college and it just wan't an issue, let alone one that needed the attention of the state legislature.

When I was working as a teen, the only reason I got a break was because of the law. Not everyone has the same experience. If all business owners did the right thing, we wouldn't need laws like this.
This law is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. The focus should be on the blatant corruption that too many are ignoring. If the law was going to save everyone thousands of dollars a year in taxes, then sure, I can overlook the fact that the legislator is only doing it for his own benefit. But a law that takes away a 30 minute break from teenagers? You really want to overlook an elected official using his position to enrich himself for that? We need to hold our leaders more accountable and ourselves to a higher standard if that is all the return we are getting.

You do realize that if the workers aren’t forced take an unpaid break, and they keeping working, the store owner would have to also pay them more?
All this bill would do is get rid of a needless regulation and make it more attractive for employers to hire younger workers.

so a 15 year old is getting in his car and leaving work or is he stuck on the premises because his fricking mom dropped him off?
Can they not walk?
Or for that matter use Uber Eats?
