Meal & Rest Break Violations

Wage & Hour Claim Lawyers in Temecula

Meal & Break Violations – What Are Your Rights?

California law is very strict when it comes to rest periods and meal breaks for employees. It is illegal for employers in California to force an employee to work 5 hours or longer without providing a 30-minute meal period. Additionally, employees who work at least 3.5 hours straight must be allowed to take a paid break or “rest period” in the middle of each work period longer than 2 hours.

Has your employer forced you to work 5 hours or more without a lunch break? Have you been denied rest periods for long shifts? Has your employer deducted your rest periods from your paycheck? All of these situations may qualify for a wage and hour claim so that you can recover the wages you rightfully deserve.

Types of Meal & Break Violations in California

You may have an employment law case if your employer has done any of the following:

  • Forced you to work 3.5 or more hours without a rest period
  • Forced you to work 5 or more hours without a meal break
  • Failed to pay you for your paid break periods
  • Failed to pay you a meal violation for a meal break taken after 5 working hours

As an employee, you are clearly protected from all of the above under California law. Do not hesitate to speak with a lawyer and discuss your legal options if your rights have been violated in any of the ways listed above.

    "She was able to keep me calm in a situation that had me on total edge."
    Let me start by saying Neda is a bit more than an attorney...she was my cheerleader, therapist, and motivator during my legal situation.  She was able to keep me calm in a situation that had me on total edge.  In addition, Neda proved diligent, optimistic and professional during the entire process!! She was able to answer my anxiety-filled questions and worries and meet deadlines while maintaining contact with myself and the court.  I am truly grateful to her for her kind words, positive demeanor, and professional knowledge!! Thank you again
