FAQ
In compliance with California labor laws, nonexempt employees are entitled to an unpaid meal or lunch break lasting a minimum of 30 minutes for shifts exceeding five hours. This break, which should commence before the completion of the fifth hour of work, can be waived only if the workday does not surpass six hours.
Employers who make it difficult or impossible for their workers to take these legally-protected breaks owe their workers compensation for forcing them to miss their breaks. Should they fail to provide this compensation, these employers could face a lawsuit based on California law.
Politely express your concerns and remind them of the break policy. It's possible they may not be aware of the issue. Speak to HR: If the situation doesn't improve after talking to your supervisor, consider reaching out to your Human Resources department. Present your documented evidence and explain the situation.
Michigan does not have a state law that mandates meal breaks for employees age 18 and older. This means that employers are not legally required to provide a meal break.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has neither researched nor issued standards requiring that workers be permitted lunch and rest breaks in the course of their workday.

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.
California requires employers to provide employees with ten-minute rest breaks for every four hours (or major fraction) worked. Anything over two hours is a “major fraction” of a four-hour period.
No, under California law rest period time is based on the total hours worked daily, and only one ten-minute rest period need be authorized for every four hours of work or major fraction thereof.
