I would think not, but if you get back late, you're gone!

no, if you are clocked out and not being paid during that time you are free to do as you choose. Most states also provide for a 15 minute break in both the morning and afternoon on the clock during which I am sure you are required to be on premises. I have found most employers do not honor the latter however.

honestly. maximum states have a regulation that demands no less than a 30 minute clocked out wreck while you're scheduled 8 hours. i be responsive to, I hate it too. I are available in at 6:30 am and artwork until eventually finally 12:00 take a 30 minute wreck (off the clock) and am off via 3:30 regular. That 8 - 5 stuff isn't for me.

If you get a lunch break (off the clock) which is required by law for certain periods of time worked, then, no. There are a few extreme exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking, in the vast majority of industries, when you are "off-the-clock" it is YOUR time, and your employer has no say as to what you do on your time. As long as you return on time, when expected.
Fight the man! Question authority! and Good luck!!

Opinion only: If you clock out, you're on your own time and free to do as you wish. If your employer dismisses you from work for leaving the business site, find an attorney right away. You might even talk to an attorney anyway. Remember that advice generally is worth just what you pay for it. All of the advice here costs you nothing.

This depends on your state law. In Michigan there is no requirement to even provide a lunch hour if the company does not want to! LOL. My guess is that it is legal. Sometimes the company will have a short "paid lunch" if an unpaid lunch is illegal to require on the premises. I.E. they could say "You have a 10 minute unpaid lunch period but I am paying you."

If you are not paid for your lunch break then you have every right to leave the premises... it is unpaid, so it is your own time to do what you want.
If it is a paid lunch break then technically you are not meant to leave the premises, unless you have the consent of your employer.
It should be stated in your award... so try looking it up on the internet or at your place of work.

Yes they can make you stay on the company premises. The company I work for does the exact same thing.

No! Lunch is supposed to be part of your paid wage. He shouldn't even have you clock out. Whether you stay on the premisis or not, by law, you have to have a certian number of breaks alloted to you in a certian time periond, and this is paid. And he should not be able to make you stay on the premisis, either. I would recommend you look into your local laws regarding thism, or write to your local polititian, they'll be able to let you know what the actual laws are in your county.
Hope this helps. And good luck!

If he's paying you for that time, he can request that you stay on premises. If he's not, you should be able to go anywhere you want.
