You have to hire a PA lawyer to file suit for a boundary dispute. But first get a boundary line survey to find where the boundary and corners. Mark them. Using tax maps is not going to work. Otherwise you acquiesce to the ascertainable boundary (fence).

The law requires that your employer pay you for the hours that you work. This would include time that you are supposed to be on lunch break.
