If I am a salaried employee how many hours can I be made to work during a 24 hour period, and how long of a lunch break am I entitled too?

8 hours is a normal work day where I come from and l hour for lunch is enough for me.

do you have company policy documents? most company's have them now for situations as this to cover labour disputes.

Let me see 12 hour days were farily normal back when I was a salareid employee, actually they could call me at home and send me faxes, on my drive to work I would be on the phone calling them about issues,
I would be in office 10 to 12 hours, did not know what a 8 hour day was. Did many 16 hour days before.

Lunch was a metting, or taking someone to lunch, if you did lunch, normally it was a sandwich while you were at your desk or traveling between places. ** in fact it still is.

well, it should be easy then, check with your union rep/shop stewart, they should know what the collective bargaining agreement says about it.

agreed, 8 hours is a normal day. with between 1/2 and 1 hour for lunch.

another question is...are you an exempt or a non-exempt employee? if you are exempt, you are not eligible for "overtime" pay.
