California’s extensive labor laws protect workers' rights, including meal breaks. Both employers and employees must understand these laws to prevent violations and ensure adequate meal time.
According to the state's Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders, employers must offer nonexempt employees a chance for a 30-minute meal break if they work over five hours a day.
Employees can leave their work area or stay put, as they choose.
Employers failing to provide mandated breaks must pay employees an extra hour's wage. If multiple breaks are missed, the employee earns an extra hour's pay for each missed rest or meal break in a workday.
