According to a viral office notice, being late for the 30-minute lunch break by even 1 minute will result in 1 hour of extra work without pay. This strict rule is being strongly criticized on social media, although its authenticity is being questioned.

Office means work, work and work. But in the meantime, tea-coffee and lunch breaks are also necessary. After all, how can anyone work without eating and drinking? There is a fixed time for lunch break in every office. Sometimes for half an hour and sometimes for one hour. But sometimes employees get a little late in returning from their break. An office notice related to this is going viral on social media.

One minute delay, one hour punishment

A picture of a notice is being shared on social media. There is a strange rule written in this notice regarding lunch time. According to the rules, if any employee is late by even one minute for his 30-minute lunch break, he will have to work one hour more in the evening. That too without any extra salary. The notice explains by example, "If your lunch break is more than 30 minutes, you will be required to give the company 60 minutes of unpaid leave after 6 p.m. For example, if you take a 31-minute lunch, you will leave the office at 7 p.m. Eat early."

The social media user who posted the photo of the notice wrote in the caption, "When your management posts a notice like this, don't be surprised why your best employees are quitting."

People are commenting in different ways on this post. Most of the users have strongly criticized this rule. One user wrote, "It is absolutely wrong to get an hour's work done for a minute's delay." Some people say that if an employee works after office hours, he should get overtime money. At the same time, some jokingly said that now it is difficult to go to office and work.

However, some users doubt whether this notice is genuine. He says that there is no name or logo of any company on the notice, so it may be fake. Well, whatever the case may be, if an office really makes such a rule, then the question arises who will tolerate it?
