FAQ
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.
Employers cannot require employees to request rest breaks; instead, they must facilitate these breaks and ensure they occur. This is because rest breaks are considered a legal right under California law, not a matter of personal discretion.
Rest breaks are handled differently. Rest periods. You can voluntarily skip your rest break, but you cannot waive your right to it. Your employer cannot pressure or encourage you to skip a rest 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.
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.
If you work for more than 6 hours a day, you're entitled to an uninterrupted rest break of at least 20 minutes - for example a tea or lunch break. You must be allowed to take it during the day rather than at the beginning or end.
