On the other hand, if you're exempt (meaning salaried), I think you're stuck. Most salaried people understand that an official work day is 8 hours, but that frequently you work far more hours than that to get the job done. My office's official hours are 8:30-5:30, but I'm hardly ever out of here by 5:30 and only sometimes am I here by 8:30.

My concern is whether or not an acceptance of employment constitutes a verbal contract. The terms of my employment included paid breaks. Now, the new leadership is arbitrarily changing the policy. As an update, I checked with Labor Standards and, since we have our policy in writing, the employer can't change it.
