FAQ
All California working stiffs get a thirty (30) minutes lunch period before the end of the fifth hour in an eight (8) hour workday. No more, no less. And rules are a bit different for federal employees, however, we stick by our 30-minute lunch.
For an 8-hour work shift, employees are entitled to a minimum 20-minute uninterrupted break if they work more than six hours. The break should not be taken at the beginning or end of the shift, and employees must be allowed to take it away from their workstation.

As such, I suggest you seek a consultation with an employment attorney for more particularized advice.
