Under California law- what's the meal break law?
pinknova15
This is the shift I worked:
7am-11am: work
11am-1145am: lunch
1145-5: work
Since between 1145-5 of working, I hit my 2nd fifth-hour, was I not compliant w the law?

You are in compliance. Since you took a 45 minute lunch, your actual workday is only 9.25 hours. If an employee is scheduled to WORK 10 hours or more, he/she is to take a second lunch break, which can be waived if both the employer and employee agree. The second lunch CANNOT be waived however, if the employee works OVER 12 hours (even if it's 12 hours and 15 minutes). As for breaks, some people are stating that 15 minute breaks are required, but it is only 10 minutes per break that are required. Many employers offer 15 instead, but it's not mandated. |

The law requires 2 15-minute breaks and 30 minutes for meals. |

As far as meal periods go, in Michigan and i think this is actually a federal mandate for a 9 hour and 15 minute shift which is your 10 hours less lunch time one 30 minute period unpaid is all that is required. There should also be 2, 15 minute paid breaks. At 10 1/2 hours a third 15 minute paid break is added and at 12 hours a second 30 minute unpaid meal period. Where i work we only get 20 minutes for lunch but it is paid because it is also a federal mandate to be paid for any meal period less than 30 minutes, also we cannot leave the premises for our paid mealtime. |
