Description

The On-Duty Meal Period Agreement is designed for employers in California whose employees cannot leave the premises during meal breaks due to the nature of their work. By utilizing this form, employers ensure compliance with wage and hour laws while avoiding the one-hour penalty for not providing a duty-free break. The agreement stipulates that the employee will take a paid on-duty meal period, which allows them to eat and rest for up to thirty minutes, as mandated by applicable California Wage Orders. This meal period counts toward hours worked for overtime calculations. Employees have the right to revoke this agreement at any time by notifying their employer in writing. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides a clear framework for understanding and implementing meal period regulations in California. Legal professionals can use this document to guide clients in complying with labor laws, thereby reducing the risk of litigation related to meal break violations. Additionally, it offers clarity in employer-employee agreements regarding on-duty meal periods, supporting proper workplace practices.
