And what happens if the store goes against that?

Depends if store is union or not and what the local contract says.

My contract says there must be an 8 hour break between shifts.  I get double time for the part of the 8 hours I don't get to rest.

 

I leave at 3pm and come back at 10pm.  That was a 7 hour break.  So, I would get 1 hour of double time.  Atleast that is how I think it works.

I see. I could have sworn it was 10 hours in my store but they scheduled me with only 9 hours in between shifts so now I'm not sure.

here it's 8 hours in between, if you're scheduled anything less in between then for that portion you get time and a half.   does vary though, I read in another thread someone said their area requires 10 hours in between shifts, which sounds great btw

It is 10 hours in between shifts here in the Columbus area. And if there isn't 10 hours separating shift (say there are only 9 hours between the shift, the pay would be time and a half for that hour. Wouldn't eschedule have alerted whoever wrote the schedule about there not being enough hours between shifts?

 Original poster here, and I do work in the Columbus area. So I guess I'm getting time and a half for an hour? That's weird, but ok lol. I don't know why they scheduled me like that. I knew I wasn't crazy because one time I tried to bump someone for a day shift and they said I couldn't because then I wouldn't have 10 hours between.

In Atlanta it's ten hours between shifts and if you're scheduled closer than that, you're SOL. There's no penalty. Been there done that.

Local 1996 is the most useless, toothless union I can imagine.

It's ten hours here (Mid-Atlantic), and you're supposed to get time-and-a-half. Never got it, then I asked about it, then I just stopped getting short shifts (which I hated anyways).
