FAQ
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.
What Is the Longest Shift Employees Can Legally Work in California? There isn't a legal limit on the number of hours a California employee can work in a day. The California overtime law only caps regular work and overtime hours. There's no limit regarding the number of double-time hours an employee may work in a day.
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.
A: Yes, you can work six hours without a lunch break in California, provided that is your entire shift for the day. However, if your shift is longer than six hours, you must be offered a lunch break around the end of the fifth hour.
First check your state's labor laws to see if breaks are required. If so, you can file a complaint. If the company is not in violation of any of your state's labor laws, then complaining would be useless. If there is a violation, then your company could be investigated and perhaps even fined.
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.
Yes, you can bring a legal claim associated with the employer not providing you with a reasonable opportunity to take your meal or rest periods.
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.
