Waiving Your Right to a Meal Break Under California Law Hours of WorkNumber of Meal Breaks 0 – 5 hours 0 – hours 1 – hours 2

Meal breaks lasting 30 minutes or longer can be unpaid, so long as employees don't work during that time. Employers are not required to give rest breaks. Employees who work between 6 and 8 hours are entitled to a 20-minute meal break. Employees who work for 8 or more hours are entitled to a 30-minute break.

Under California Labor Law, employers must allow employees working in California to take a 30-minute meal break for every 5 hours of work. Meal breaks are unpaid but must be uninterrupted, and the employees are permitted to go off-site and spend time on any of their personal activities.

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.

California Meal Break Law Requirements If you work over 5 hours in a day, you are entitled to a meal break of at least 30 minutes that must start before the end of the fifth hour of your shift. BUT, you can agree with your boss to waive this meal period provided you do not work more than 6 hours in the workday.

California requires employers to provide employees with ten-minute rest breaks for every four hours (or major fraction) worked. Anything over two hours is a “major fraction” of a four-hour period.

Non-exempt employees are entitled to one 30-minute meal break for a shift longer than five hours. And a second 30-minute meal break for a shift longer than ten hours. Non-exempt employees are entitled to a ten-minute rest break for every four-hour shift they work.

You cannot employ someone for a work period of more than five hours without providing an unpaid, off-duty meal period of at least 30 minutes. Under California law, non-exempt employees are entitled to one unpaid 30-minute meal break, and two paid 10-minute rest breaks, during a typical 8-hour shift.Nonexempt employees are entitled to an unpaid meal or lunch break lasting a minimum of 30 minutes for shifts exceeding five hours. The rest period is based on the total hours worked daily and must be at the minimum rate of a net ten consecutive minutes for each four hour work period. In California your first meal period should be the 5th hour. Say you work from 12pm-pm, with a unpaid 30 minute lunch. Nonexempt California employees must be given a meal or lunch break for a minimum of 30 minutes for shifts longer than five hours. Employers must "authorize and permit" almost all non-exempt employees to take a ten (10) minute rest break if they work at least 3.5 hours in a day. From here, California's meal and rest break policies get more complex. Every nonexempt employee who has worked over five hours in a day is obligated to receive a meal break.
