Description

The On-Duty Meal Period Agreement is a legal document utilized in California that outlines the terms under which an employee may take a paid meal break while remaining on duty. This agreement is particularly tailored for situations where employees cannot leave their work premises, such as when they are the only staff members available during meal periods. The document specifies that although the employee is working during the meal period, they are entitled to a paid break which counts toward their total hours worked, including for overtime calculations. Employers must ensure to provide clear reasons why a duty-free meal break is not feasible, thus protecting both parties from potential wage penalties. Users of this form should fill it out by inserting relevant details about the employee and employer and must ensure it is signed and dated by both parties. The agreement can be revoked by the employee at any time through written notice to the employer. This form is especially useful for attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants who deal with labor laws, as it provides a clear framework for compliance with California's wage regulations. By using this form, businesses can safeguard against penalties while ensuring that employees receive their entitled compensation during meal periods.
