California Chamber of Commerce employment law experts will discuss how employers can prevent meal and rest break violations, and how to stay in compliance with the law at an upcoming live webinar.
When it comes to meal and rest breaks, California sets the rules. Informing employees, not overstepping boundaries, and keeping proper records are up to employers.
The California Supreme Court ruled in late December 2016 that on-call rest breaks are not permissible. Employees can use the 10-minute break time as they want—and must be uninterrupted.
Webinar Topics

• Employer obligations for meal and rest breaks;
