Description

The On-Duty Meal Period Agreement is a document designed for use in California where an employee cannot take a duty-free meal break due to the nature of their work. By signing this agreement, the employee waives the one-hour penalty for not receiving an uninterrupted meal break, allowing them to take a paid on-duty meal period instead. This agreement outlines that the employee may rest and eat for up to thirty minutes while remaining on duty, ensuring they are compensated during this time, which will also be counted towards overtime calculations. It's important for both employers and employees to fully understand their rights and obligations under California wage orders, and this form serves as a formal acknowledgment of those terms. The agreement can be revoked at any time by the employee with written notice to the employer. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it helps ensure compliance with state laws and reduces potential disputes regarding meal breaks. The clear instructions and structure promote understanding among users with varied legal expertise.
