I live in b.c and work from home. I am scheduled for 9 hour days. In the 9 hours I get a 30 minute unpaid lunch break plus 2 fifteen minutes coffee breaks that are paid for even though I don't work during coffee breaks. How much overtime should I be getting per day? (Non-union and no averaging agreement) my employer asked me where on the employment standards branch of b.c does it state that paid coffee breaks are included in the calculation towards overtime?
