FAQ

The California Labor Code provides that employees who work more than five (5) hours in a day are entitled to a thirty (30) minute meal break. However, if the employee is working no more than six (6) hours in a day, the employee may waive their 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.

Since there are no Texas labor laws on breaks, there's no requirement for a certain number of breaks during a 7- to 8-hour shift. That said, it's common for workplaces to provide one 30-minute meal break and two 15-minute rest breaks in that time.

In Texas, there are no labor laws in breaks, so employees do not have a right to breaks and employers are not required to provide a certain number of breaks even during a 12-hour shift. However, it is common for workplaces to provide one meal break (30 mins.) and two rest breaks (15 mins. each) during a shift.

Since there are no Texas labor laws on breaks, there's no requirement for a certain number of breaks during a 7- to 8-hour shift. That said, it's common for workplaces to provide one 30-minute meal break and two 15-minute rest breaks in that time.

In Texas, there are no laws at the state or federal level limiting the number of hours an employee can work in a day or week.

You are allowed to skip a 15-minute break at work if you want, but it needs to be your decision. Your employer cannot force you to skip your break. California labor laws require employers to provide the opportunity for their employees to take breaks. Legally, you do not have to take them if you don't want to.

California Meal Break Law Requirements If you work over 5 hours in a day, you are entitled to a meal break of at least 30 minutes that must start before the end of the fifth hour of your shift. BUT, you can agree with your boss to waive this meal period provided you do not work more than 6 hours in the workday.

Q: Can you combine meal and rest breaks in California? A: Rest and meal breaks should not be combined. If you have worked for 12 hours, your boss cannot simply give you a 1-hour meal break and say that it qualifies for your entire meal break. Instead, you should be given two separate meal breaks.
