Description

The On-Duty Meal Period Agreement is a legal document designed for situations where an employee cannot take a duty-free meal break during work hours due to the nature of their job. This form facilitates an agreement between the employee and employer, allowing the employee to take a paid on-duty meal period instead of a traditional break. One key feature is that this agreement prevents the employer from incurring a penalty for failing to provide a duty-free lunch. The form must clearly articulate the reasons for not allowing a duty-free break, ensuring compliance with California Wage Orders. Filling out the form requires both the employee and employer to sign and date it, making it a binding contract. Once agreed upon, the employee’s hours during the on-duty meal period will count towards overtime. Importantly, employees have the right to revoke this agreement at any time with written notice. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and owners involved in employment law, ensuring they understand wage and hour rules. Paralegals and legal assistants may assist in drafting or processing this document, and associates can use it to safeguard their rights in similar employment situations.
