FAQ

What is the law in California? Under California's meal and rest break law, non-exempt employees are entitled to a 10-minute rest break in a 5-hour shift, but not a meal break.

Most California workers must receive the following breaks: An uninterrupted 30-minute unpaid meal break when working more than five hours in a day. An additional 30-minute unpaid meal break when working more than 12 hours in a day.

If you are working 6 or less hours, you and your employer can agree to waive your meal period but it has to be in writing.

You are allowed to skip a 15-minute break at work if you want, but it needs to be your decision. Your employer cannot force you to skip your break. California labor laws require employers to provide the opportunity for their employees to take breaks. Legally, you do not have to take them if you don't want to.

UK law mandates specific regulations for work breaks under the Working Time Regulations 1998, ensuring employees receive adequate rest during their shifts. For an 8-hour work shift, employees are entitled to a minimum 20-minute uninterrupted break if they work more than six hours.

All workers must receive a meal period of at least 30 minutes for every 5 hours worked. If they work more than 11 hours in a day, then they must receive an additional meal period of at least 30 minutes.

California law requires that a lunch break be taken after no more than 5 hours of work, and that breaks be as close as reasonably possible to the middle of each work period. Your work period looks like three hours with a break near the middle, and then five hours with (presumably) a break near the middle.

California Rest Break Laws Non-exempt employees must be provided a 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked or a major fraction thereof. A major fraction is any work period exceeding two hours. For example: 3.5 to 6-hour shifts: One 10-minute rest break.
