Don’t Let Meal and Rest Period Violations Expose You to Costly Lawsuits
Meal and rest period violations remain some of the easiest targets for plaintiffs’ attorneys in California. With strict state laws dictating when, where, how, how often, and for how long non-exempt employees must be provided breaks, staying compliant is one of the most significant challenges for employers. Even more daunting? Ensuring employees consistently take their required breaks.
What’s Your Solution?
The first and most critical step is to have a compliant, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand written policy—along with an employee acknowledgment form confirming that every non-exempt worker has read and understands it.
