We have one staff member who regularly eliminated his lunch break and cuts short his 8 hour shift by leaving the premises 45 minutes - 1 hour early. Two of the other staff members cover for him. This seems irregular. Thoughts?
He is paid for his lunch hour as per union rules.
The first thing you should do is talk to this person and find out how it originated (does he/she have it in writing, did someone approve it, etc). The are many unanswered questions here. Is he/she paying relief to come in early to cover? I personally do not agree with an employee cutting his shift short as what do you do if the next person wants the same? I also believe your super and managing agent should have addressed this issue when it was first noticed and nipped it in the bud. Get the facts, make a decision, and if you decide to revert back to the way it should have been, put it in writing to the employee.
Hope this helps.

to the best of my knowledge, union employees can't opt to skip lunch and leave early. he should be written up for this by your management company.
