It's difficult to run a business and keep up on the changes when you have your focus on the work of your business. Smart business who value their employees will take care of them without the rules. They will retain their staff. They will be more successful in the longterm. My Husband and Son have worked with such companies and they are very loyal to them. My daughter worked for a company who routinely left her without anyone to give her a break, adjusted her schedule daily without telling her ahead of time and never told her she had vacation time until the time to claim it had passed. Over my lifetime, I have had two service jobs that left me without breaks routinely. (This was in the nursing profession and also restaurant business.) Some business need the basic accountability.
