Agreed. It seemed the company was getting something out of it too. I think there a few facts missing here but I would have thought it would be covered.
I have to say I agree with the courts. If you tell an employee to go pick up food then the employer is telling an employee to perform some kind of duty on their behalf. I really don’t see that as a “break”, I see that as a supervisor telling an employee to perform a job assignment. A “break” to me is the employee going outside to perform a personal act of resting from the job, i.e. smoking.
Wow
and deservedly so! you were doing this basically on company time… they paid him that break!!! so it is company time!
