Home health PT needs to eliminate unpaid lunch breaks to maintain back-to-back patient visits without extra clock time, but employer requires lunch breaks be logged.

HCHB tracks every minute worked and employer enforces lunch break logging, but PT wants to skip lunch and not have to add extra time to compensate.
