If an employee works during lunch, can the employer clock her out for 30 min because the employer was not notified and working through lunch was not approved?

No. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act or FLSA, employers must keep accurate records of hours worked and must pay the employee for all hours worked. This is true, even when the employer did not specifically authorize the work hours. For example, if an employee works through lunch or works overtime without authorization, the employer must still pay for that time. Laws in a number of states also require payment.

However, the employer would be well within his or her rights to discipline or even terminate an employee who worked through lunch without authorization.
