Sample Letter for Directive - Break Policy Subject: California Sample Letter for Directive — Break Policy Dear [Employee], We hope this letter finds you well. We would like to inform you about a recent update regarding our break policy in compliance with California state regulations. This directive aims to provide clear instructions and guidelines to ensure employee well-being and adherence to the mandated break times. Effective immediately, this new policy will outline our expectations and procedures for taking breaks during work hours. Please read and familiarize yourself with the information provided below. 1. Meal Breaks: As per California labor laws, employees are entitled to a meal break of at least 30 minutes if they work for more than five hours in a workday. This break should be uninterrupted, and employees are completely relieved of their duties during this time. It is essential to note that employees must take their meal break no later than the end of their fifth hour of work. 2. Rest Breaks: California labor laws also necessitate rest breaks for employees. For every four hours worked, employees are entitled to a paid rest break of at least 10 minutes. These breaks should be scheduled as close to the middle of the four-hour work period as possible. Employees are encouraged to take these breaks on-site, but if required, arrangements can be made for off-site breaks as per management approval. 3. Timekeeping Procedures: To ensure accurate timekeeping, each employee must record their meal breaks as well as their rest breaks. This information will be used to validate adherence to the break policy and for payroll purposes. Failure to accurately record breaks may result in disciplinary action. 4. Exemptions and Modifications: Certain exemptions or modifications may be applicable based on the nature of work or agreement between the employer and employee. If you believe you fall under any exception or require a modified break arrangement, please consult with Human Resources to determine eligibility and discuss possible accommodations. In the event of any questions, concerns, or clarifications regarding this break policy directive, please reach out to the Human Resources Department. We are here to assist you in complying with the California labor laws and ensuring a fair and equitable workplace environment. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in implementing this revised break policy. Adhering to these guidelines will not only support your well-being and work-life balance but also help our organization maintain compliance with state regulations. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Position] [Company/Organization Name] [Contact Information]
