I don't know what country you live, but, in most cases, technically they are not paying you for lunch hours. If you don't eat lunch and work, you are working for nothing. In another word, they really can't take away what they never gave you. And also it's a law to give employees lunch break, so they can't pay you extra if you choose to work instead of eating lunch.

No one pays you to eat lunch or else i would be earning wages right now. I eat lunch everyday and I am just a temp. I don't get paid when I am not on assignment. However, it is the law if you don't eat lunch that you have to work a minimum of 8 hours not 8 1/2. Sorry

You do not get to decide to not take lunch. It's extra hours and your supervisor has to make the decision. Labor laws require a lunch break if someone works more than 6 hours in a day.

I worked for a large company that automatically to 1/2 hour out, even if you didn't clock out. It was legal, because they required everyone to take a lunch. If you actually worked through your lunch, your supervisor had to make an adjustment to your time, since the 1/2 was taken out.
It is legal.

no, they can not. if you work thru your lunch, you must be paid, in our state.
my husbands company leaves a half hour early, because they work thru their lunches and breaks. 7am-2:30pm/mon-fri, great schedule, and he claims 40 hrs weekly.
