Lunch break and timecards
I am a nurse in a assisted living. I am told not to clock out at lunch. I have to carry a walkie talkie and answer questions at lunch. My time sheets are attached to my check and I can't get it until I sign off that time is correct. They are adding timestamps to my time sheets for everyday I work for lunch. They are making me clock in 7 minutes early and putting in 32 minute lunch. They are deducting 45 minutes a day. Is this legal?

I am unclear about your actual question. An employer is obligated to pay you for the hours you work. If the employer takes a deduction from your wages for a lunch that you do not take, then that is illegal. If the employer forces you to work off-the-clock, that is also illegal. If the employer is deducting from your wages for time you did work, then that is illegal and you need to talk to a lawyer about recovering your unpaid wages.
