Apparently that is not the case now is it. You with your singular views on everything.
There is a punishment. The employer in this case bares the punishment for your action by allowing you to do it. They do not need to be aware of it for it to be illegal. They just have to had profited by your actions. This does not mean monetarily.
There are more than one meaning for phrases as well. Why you choose to always pick the one's that cause an argument is pretty childish if you ask me.
"If you are working on that lunch you are working off the clock. It is not rocket science, not a Trump conspiracy... It's just breaking the law."
"There are reasons for these laws and none of your spins or fast talking would fool a judge or prosecuting attorney."

These are your words, your singular views that YOU posted, and there really aren't any "multiple meanings" that could be claimed of them.
It is very clear that you think working during a lunch hour is working "off the clock", which is "breaking the law".
Working "off the clock" is "
the work employees perform outside of their working hours and for which they are not compensated." Skipping a 30-consecutive -minutes lunch but taking three ten-minute breaks is not "working off the clock", no matter how much you FEEL it should be. So you're already wrong on that point, but we'll continue:
The second part of what you say there is also very clear. It states *I* am "breaking the law", since *I* would be the one "working off the clock".
In another post, you tack on that none of my
"spins or fast talking would fool a judge or prosecuting attorney". This indicates you think *I* would be in court, defending myself in front of a judge or prosecuting attorney. There is no other reason those people would hear my "spins or fast talking", except for ME being prosecuted. In court. For breaking your "law".
So, it is fully established that *I* would be the one breaking the law AND that *I* would be the one going to court for doing so. These are YOUR claims. Clear as crystal.
Given those claims: What is the legal punishment I could face if my defense is a failure and I get convicted of breaking this law you believe exists?
I'm not asking for an employer-meted punishment, but a LEGAL punishment from the JUDGE.
What is it?
