Meal And Rest Break Violations
When it comes to meal and rest intervals, many employees are uninformed of their rights. If you work more than 5 hours in a workday, you are entitled to at least a 30-minute meal break under California law (which is significantly more favorable to employees than federal labor law). A second lunch period must be supplied no later than the conclusion of the employee’s tenth hour of work when an employee works for more than 10 hours.
Employees must be released of all duties for the duration of the 30-minute meal hour and must be allowed to leave the workplace. Employees may not be stopped or discouraged from taking meal or rest breaks by their employer. By pressing employees to fulfill their jobs in ways that omit breaks, employers cannot undercut the meal and breach the law (e.g., through a scheduling policy that makes breaks very impractical).
Employers and workers can agree to an “on duty” lunch period under extremely limited situations. Only when the nature of the work precludes the employee from being freed of all duties and when an on-the-job meal period is agreed to in writing between the employer and the employee will on-duty meal periods be authorized.
Most companies and managers who participate in age discrimination do not confess their actual motivations and instead try to explain their actions by blaming non-age-related concerns such as poor employee performance, downsizing, staff cutbacks, or corporate reorganization. Even if there is no “smoking gun” evidence of age discrimination, victims of prejudice can frequently substantiate their claims using circumstantial or indirect evidence.
