Nurses are not being paid for missed meal breaks because the required permission signature from charge nurses is rarely obtainable, leading to unpaid work.

The paper booklet requires a charge nurse signature that is rarely given due to fear of reprimand, creating a conflict between nurses and managers and failing to accurately record missed breaks for payroll.
