response post - A labor law violation I have seen occur when a company does not allow employees to take their full 30-minute lunch break, as required by law. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state labor laws mandate that employees must be given a designated meal period, typically a 30-minute unpaid break, depending on the duration of their work shift. Denying this break not only breaches labor law but also affects employees' overall well-being and productivity. Upon further review of employment law, I have learned how such violations can lead to significant legal and financial repercussions for the company. Employees who are consistently denied their lunch breaks may be entitled to compensation for the missed time, and the company may face fines and penalties for non-compliance (Lumen Learning. n.d.-h). Additionally, violations could damage employee morale, leading to decreased productivity and higher turnover rates. As a manager, I would ensure that all employees receive their mandated breaks and encourage open communication if they feel their rights are being violated. Properly scheduling work shifts and monitoring compliance with labor laws would help prevent these violations. The law protects organizations by providing guidelines for compliance and an opportunity to rectify violations before facing legal action (Batten. 2011). Implementing clear policies and offering training on labor law compliance would protect both employees and the organization
