Orange County Meal and Rest Break Violations Lawyer

Meal and Rest Break Violations Attorney in Orange County, CA

California law requires employers to provide rest periods for employees. There must be at least a 30-minute lunch break, which can be paid or unpaid. Additionally, a 10-minute rest period for every four hours worked must be provided. If you were denied these breaks or forced to work while on break, you might be entitled to receive monetary compensation from your employer.

The lawyers at California Employment Counsel, APC, understand the frustration that workers feel if they believe they’ve been mistreated by supervisors. Fortunately, California provides numerous legal protections for employees and we can explain your rights.
