    But do you get paid for 8 hour days or 9 hour days?

    8 to 5 is 9 hours. They don’t get to not pay you for your lunch break.

      You get paid for the month. You arent paid by the hour, you are paid for working for them.

      Its a different mindset

        OK so next time you’ve done your work for the day, try going home early. Do let us know how it goes.

        You aren’t paid by the hour as long as it suits the company. As soon as it suits you, you’re damn well going to sit there until 5pm staring at the ceiling if you have to, THEN you can go home.

          That depends on your manager. Ive had some that let me work whenever, one that wanted butt in seat, and right now, I play video games so long as Im reachable.
