March 24, 2026 – California Meal and Rest Period Compliance

Date & Time:

Tuesday, March 24, 2026, 11:00 a.m. PT

Description:

The strict requirements for meal and rest breaks in California make scheduling non-exempt/hourly employees a challenge.

This webinar will present an in-depth overview of meal and rest break laws found in the Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders. We will discuss mandatory breaks for employees, the timing and recording of breaks, what is expected of an employer pertaining to breaks, and the penalties if meal or rest breaks are missed.

We will also discuss the limited circumstances that permit a meal period waiver or on-duty meal period agreement, as well as the special rules for certain group home direct care staff. This webinar is helpful for both HR and payroll staff.
