No, I never once said that i work off the clock. I said at times I will work through a scheduled break or an unpaid lunch period. That doesn't by default mean that I am working "off the clock". You simply assume it does due to your inability to see a bigger picture than your feelings.
As I have a flex schedule, it can mean that I am working through the unpaid time, but taking multiple short breaks (like smokers do) to offset and balance the time that i am not taking consecutively. I am required to work x hours per pay period. If I want to skip a lunch and work straight through a day and end early, I can do so so. If I want to work 14 short days in a row, I can do so. If I want to work 4 days on and 3 days off, i can do so.
If I want to skip my lunch and take 3 or 4 short breaks instead, I may do so.
Now that I have shared a bigger picture that you totally failed to see, I am still waiting for you to simply explain the legal ramifications via the justice system for someone breaking this "law" that you claim exists. I'll ask again:
What is the possible punishment via the legal/justice system if a person is "caught" working "off the books" for their employer, and breaking this law you think exists?
Who is in charge of "policing" this law, and how do you get charged/prosecuted with breaking it?
If the law exists the way you are picturing and describing it, the answers should be very simple to provide, just like you could with any other law you might refer to.
If you want me and others here to stop saying you are wrong on this, just prove your claim with facts. Skip the namecalling and the "because I said so" rhetoric.
It's a simple and reasonable request when you make a claim that is contrary to common knowledge or common sense.
