Understanding California Meal Break Laws
California labor laws mandate that employees must receive a 30-minute meal break before the end of their fifth hour of work and another 30-minute break if they work more than ten hours. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties and legal issues for employers. Manually tracking and managing these breaks can be challenging, especially in large organizations with diverse work schedules.
