Every nonexempt employee who has worked over five hours in a day is obligated to receive a meal break. The criteria are as follows: Your workplace cannot require you to work through any meal break. If you have worked five hours or more, your workplace is required to give you a 30-minute meal break.

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.

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.
