Missed Meal & Rest Breaks in San Diego

Your Workplace Rest Periods Benefit You & Your Employer

Because rest and meal breaks can increase workers’ productivity throughout the day, employers have a vested interest in adhering to the laws that protect their employees. Some employers, however, are prone to violate rest break or meal wage laws in San Diego, which can cause workers stress, physical ailments, and even create a dangerous working environment.

Are you not getting your rest or meal breaks? Contact AMartin Law or call us at (619) 268-6585 to for a free consultation of your case.

California Meal Break Requirements

California law requires employers to provide non-exempt employees with an unpaid 30-minute meal break for shifts more than five hours, and a second meal break for shifts more than 10 hours. Employees may waive their first meal break for shifts that do not exceed six hours.

Employees are entitled to an additional hour of pay for every day the employer fails to provide a lawful meal break. To be a lawful meal break, employees must be free of all work duties for at least 30 minutes. Meal breaks are not lawful if employees are required to remain at work, be available to wait on customers or respond to calls, perform other work, or remain on “stand-by” during the break.
