As a driver for a major food delivery company Im facing conserns . The schedule is being moderated in a 2 hour break in between, for the essential reason to recharge batteries of bike and phone. As the end of our shift approaches for the break time, we may be sent on deliveries that extend beyond our scheduled break time, sometimes up to 20 minutes away from our base.They claiming that the backrouting its not applicable during break.They refusing to adjust shifts. What's even more concerning is that this policy seems not to be applied in every city where the company operates. This raises questions about the legality of the practice, a it's illegal to obligate workers to reach their homes during break time?
I gave two weeks notice after a run in with a very nasty supervisor. I had been out of training and doing the job for over a month. On my 1st week out I allegedly had a complaint from New Jersey transit. Kind of funny 5 weeks later 2 days before my last day I'm ordered into the office out of the field about this complaint. I explain the details vividly, pertaing to this event. My superiors give me they understand my position and everything. Why wouldn't I have been notified in a timely fashion of this complaint. I'm thinking they found out I was going to their competitor who was paying a larger salary. So they forgo my last two days (actually 1 1/2 days), because of this complaint.
Now I have to wonder will this come into play on my next job, also subcontracted through new jersey transit. I've already been contacted I start training this coming Monday.
Oh the incident with supervisor was only acknowledged when I gave my notice. It was asked of me what could keep me under their employ. My answer was " being the new guy in here probably nothing, meaning the space and distance between me and this supervisor was to small. I could not be in their same space. They had been so disrespectful in so called counseling in view and space of a few employees. I turned in resignation immediately on my 1st day of new tour. Incident occurred on my last day of tour.
Is there any remedy someone may have to offer. I just don't want something following me, I never had a chance to defend myself on, they can come back to bite me. Every agency I've seeked help from appears to downplay this situation, like I may be overreacting. I'd appreciate any helpful feedback on my situation.

CA LABOR LAW Question
Hi! So my work goes by semi-monthly pay. I work full-time and get paid hourly from my 8am-5pm. We have a time card that we clock in and out + get 1 hr unpaid lunch (standard).
OT has to be approved, which makes sense. However, not everyone clocks out exactly at 5 pm, some stay a few minutes later ~10-15 mins, which is considered OT, right?
I obviously have days where I stay a few minutes after 5, which then makes it as I worked 8 hours + extra minutes. Every pay period, it seems like as long as our time card equates to 40 hrs a week, we get the exact 86.67 hrs.
Does it makes sense? It feels like those extra minutes that I had to stay adds up and it feels like I am not getting paid for it. And I am confused as to why I get an hourly rate but gets paid for 86.67 hrs as long as I come in and do my full 40 hrs a wk.
I might be misunderstanding so please let me know :( and don't be mean </3 I genuinely would like someone to please let me know. Thank you!
