Dear PAO,

I am a private school elementary teacher, and a new policy is being implemented in our school. During lunch time, teachers are required to watch over their pupils. It sounds like an easy task, but it actually prevents us from having our meal break. All our time is consumed by watching the kids we have to discipline. Thus, we are working for more than eight hours a day without meal breaks and additional compensation. Is this scheme valid under our labor laws?
