Meal & Rest Break Violations

Wage & Hour Claim Lawyers in Temecula

Meal & Break Violations – What Are Your Rights?

California law is very strict when it comes to rest periods and meal breaks for employees. It is illegal for employers in California to force an employee to work 5 hours or longer without providing a 30-minute meal period. Additionally, employees who work at least 3.5 hours straight must be allowed to take a paid break or “rest period” in the middle of each work period longer than 2 hours.

Has your employer forced you to work 5 hours or more without a lunch break? Have you been denied rest periods for long shifts? Has your employer deducted your rest periods from your paycheck? All of these situations may qualify for a wage and hour claim so that you can recover the wages you rightfully deserve.
