Protecting Employee Rights



Oxnard Ventura Meal Break Lawyer 

Employers must pay meal premiums of one hour of pay if a nonexempt employee is prevented from taking a meal break of 30 minutes before their 5th hour of work. The ability to take a meal break requires that the employee not be interrupted by having to answer calls or texts about work, or otherwise stop the meal break and perform work. Employee who work more than 10 hours are entitled to take a second meal break. There are exceptions to these rules including whether employees have signed meal break waivers. Not all meal break waivers are valid. The Employment Lawyers Group has tried cases involving invalid meal break waivers.

Talk about a rest break. Well, one of the Coast Guards interrupted his rest break and pushed our boat off.

Meal break cases may involve situations where the employee did not punch out at all for a meal break. Rest breaks, on the other hand, do not require employees to be punched out.

It is best to contact an experienced wage and hour lawyer to discuss a meal or rest break case. The existence of multiple employees willing to sue greatly increase the chance of success. Patterns and situations preventing meal and rest breaks make the best lawsuits. Cases in which the employer claims the employee could have taken a break need an employee defense to that argument. Some people do decide on their own not to take a meal or rest break, to take it late, or take a short one.
