While at work, it’s not uncommon to skip lunch or even miss a rest break. Most employees get swamped with work, and it’s not unusual to work while holding a sandwich in one hand while the other one works on the computer. But when missing rest breaks and meal periods become a custom, the employer may violate the law. In California, the law allows both salaried and hourly workers to take paid rest breaks and unpaid meal breaks during workdays.
“After working for the first five hours, an employee is entitled to a 30-minute unpaid meal break,” explained the law firm’s spokesperson. “After working for another day, the same employee deserves another thirty-minute unpaid meal break. It’s the employer’s responsibility to ensure workers take meal breaks on time. During the meal break, an employee can get out of the premises and participate in any activity they want, without the employer’s control. The boss may pressure an employee to skip a meal break or remain on the work premises during employee lunch breaks. The boss may also order the worker around during a meal break. In that case, the employer may be breaking the law. Such a violation entitles the employee to adequate compensation."
For hourly workers, employers may require them to clock out their meal breaks and assign tasks to be done while a worker is off the cloak. This is not only a violation of the law, but it might result in an individual working more than 40 hours per week without receiving overtime pay.
