WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHEN ANY REQUIRED MEAL PERIOD MUST BE PROVIDED?
In California, in general, when an employee works for a work period of more than 5 hours, a meal period must be provided no later than the end of the employee’s 5th hour of work. In other words, no later than the start of the employee’s 6th hour of work.
When an employee works for a period of more than 10 hours, a second meal period must be provided no later than the end of the employee’s 10th hour of work. In other words, no later than the start of the employee’s 11th hour of work.
