Every job I've ever had - had the lunch unpaid. Hourly or Salary you're ass is there a minimum of 8 hours and 30 minutes.
Only difference is if you're there 10 hours. The Hourly guy gets paid extra. The salary man gets told to go fuck himself. "Salary Exempt"
I work in 911 dispatch, so my job kind of falls into some weird exceptions as an essential public safety thing.
Technically I'm considered salaried somehow, but in practice my pay is hourly.
I work 12 hour shifts, and my paycheck reflects how many hours I worked (and however much PTO I used) during that pay period.
Technically, if shit really hits the fan my supervisor could come running into the lunch room and say they need all hands on deck, no more breaks today, and they've eased up on it a bit but for a long time we weren't even supposed to leave campus at all on our breaks so that we'd be available if we were needed, so I guess that's at least part of the reason my breaks are paid.
Interesting. I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week with a 30 minute unpaid break, so my schedule is 8am to 630pm, and am required to clock out from 1:30-2p. I leave my house at 7:05am and get home around 720pm. My salaried boss takes a 1 hour break and works from 745a to 345p five days a week. I MUST take my break at 130 for "liability" reasons. My boss takes his break anywhere from 1145 to 2, and if he waits too late to eat he just skips it and leaves early. I wish the lunch break was paid, even those stupid 30 extra minutes would be a game changer for my "work life balance".
