FAQ
No Federal Law Requires Meal Breaks Although there's no federal statute that requires employers to provide lunch breaks, federal law could factor into your employer's decision on whether to allow you to work through lunch and leave early.
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.
Yes, you can work 6 hours without a lunch break in Florida. The state's labor laws do not require a lunch break for workdays of less than 8 hours. However, if you work more than 8 hours in a day, your employer must provide you with a 30-minute uninterrupted meal break.
Employers must authorize and permit uninterrupted rest breaks for all nonexempt employees whose total daily work time is at least 3.5 hours. These mandatory rest breaks must be offered at 10 minutes for every four hours worked, or "major fraction" thereof.

If you have worked five hours or more, your workplace is required to give you a 30-minute meal break. Your meal break should begin sometime before the last hour of your shift. It is not required for you to take this meal break. If you have worked less than 6 hours in a day, you can agree to forego your meal break.

Sorry, that's not legal in California for a first meal break. You can't waive lunch in order to leave early unless your work day is between 5 and 6 hours. You don't get a lunch break for less than 5 hours and must take it if you work over 6. You can (if both employer and employee consent) waive a second meal break.
Yes, you can work 6 hours without a lunch break in Florida. The state's labor laws do not require a lunch break for workdays of less than 8 hours. However, if you work more than 8 hours in a day, your employer must provide you with a 30-minute uninterrupted meal break.
