Work Breaks Rules

California workers also have the right to a 10-minute break for every 4 hours you have worked. You are entitled to one hour of pay for each 10-minute rest break that you were not provided within the last 1-4 years.

If your employer accidentally fails to give you breaks, you can make claims going back as far as 2 years. If your employer intentionally deprived you of a break or knew you were entitled to a break and did not compensate you, you can make claims going back 3-4 years, provided you did not waive your right to the break. This is a situation in which the law can be complicated and confusing, so it is best to enlist the help of an employment attorney to help you get the pay to which you are entitled.

Meal Breaks Rules

In addition to rest breaks, you are also entitled to meal breaks. More specifically, you have the right to a 30-minute meal break for every 5 hours you have worked. If you have worked over 5 hours and were not provided a meal break, you are entitled to one hour of pay for each missed meal break.

In all of the above situations of overtime and break laws, you have the legal right to request compensation from your employer that they owe you. The Law Offices of Devon K. Roepcke can assist you in getting backpay if your employer refuses to pay compensation that is justly owed, whether you have been underpaid for working overtime or were not given the meal break or rest break you are entitled to. 

Employment law matters like the above can be difficult to navigate on your own, especially when they require a close understanding of the legal language. Our firm can champion your worker rights and ensure you obtain the pay you have worked hard for.
