First some background information pertaining to this post.
I was asked by a previous parking company manger I reported to back in 2007 to clock out & back in for my 15 minute break. My hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. So instead of clocking in at 7 a.m. & out at 3 p.m., I would clock at 3:15 p.m. He told me this because according to him, the parking company we work for could get fined if it was not indicated on my timecard that I clock in & out for a break. According to him, there was some government agency that could fine the parking company if I do not do this. So I agreed to do this. Then he was transferred to another location towards the end of 2007. I also know that copies of the timecards are made, which then are sent to the client company. The reason I know this is because my first manger (the one who requested that I clock in & out for my 15 minute break) would ask me to make copies of the timecards when he came to pick them up the Monday of the week we were to be paid. He would have me make a copy of the timecards everytime he came to pick them up. Then he would drop off an envelope with the copied timecards inside at the Visitor parking booth, & he would ask me to deliver them to dispatch, who would then give them to someone who worked at the university (the client). So I knew that the university had a record of the timecards.
There have been several parking company managers over the account after he was transferred.
I continued clocking in & out for my 15 minute break. I was not told by the other parking company managers to not do this. I assumed the parking company knew I was doing this. It was indicated on my timecards I was doing this.
Several weeks ago I received an e-mail from the current parking company manager I report to. This is what the e-mail stated.
Snugglegirl05, the main office & myself have noticed that you have been getting overtime over the last few weeks. Please do your part in managing your hours by making sure you are getting 8 hours per day. We are not allowed to bill the client for overtime at the university. If there is some unforseen circumstance, then ovetime may be granted. We really not be seeing ovetime on a daily basis. Thank you in advance for helping to manage your hours.

Here is my reply:
My hours are from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. I take a 15 minute break, which I clock out for. So I clock in between 6:55 a.m. & 7 a.m., clock out for my 15 minute break, clock in after my 15 minute break, & then I clock out at 3:15 p.m. "Larry Johnson", who used to be over the account at the university, requested that I do this back in 2007. I have been doing this ever since. Do you want me to clock out at 3 p.m. instead?
Here is his reply:
Snugglegirl05, thank you for explaining. Please know that you 15 minute break is paid. Please clock at 3 p.m.
Thanks,

So I have been doing this for over 3 years & my employer just recently noticed it.
