Snack and smoking breaks on the job. What are the cleaning employee labor laws and do you have to pay for snack and smoking breaks? What does the Department of Labor say about snack and smoking breaks for contract labor, pay, and fair labor practices? Angela Brown says state regulations trump FLSA (Fair Labor Standard Act) in some areas. She talks required breaks, pay, earnings, holiday pay, vacations, wages, and overtime. If you're the boss a resting period is fair and shows you're a caring employer. Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner (Training and certification for house cleaners and maids.) And Savvy Perks (Employee benefits for cleaning business owners and their maid service team.) #EmployeeLaborLaws #FLSA *** COMPLETE SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE *** https://askahousecleaner.com/show *** MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC *** Do you know the basics of employment law? - https://youtu.be/Yn6MK_blDck Top 10 HR Mistakes That Can Cost You A Ton of Money & Get You in Legal Trouble - HR Basics: Employment Law - https://youtu.be/CJhRXBpXTPI - https://youtu.be/dRE1xMUBbks An Introduction to US Employment Law - https://youtu.be/9-qTkmqdPlg Smoking breaks - https://youtu.be/8qJkZ8Wfmsk *** RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE *** FLSA State Labor Laws - https://www.dol.gov/whd/state/state.htm How I Quit Smoking in 1 Day...
