I used to work at a company ‘X’. I used to take 15 minutes to go get food and return back to work, however I would not register this as a lunch break. Essentially, I was getting paid when I should not have been paid during these 15 minutes Is this considered stealing? If so, how do I repent? Should I return any money? I was getting paid hourly at this job
