Meal Period Penalties

Meal breaks protect both employees and employers. In this video, we explain when they’re required, how to keep them compliant, and how to avoid costly penalties.

Remember:

  • Meal breaks must happen before the 5th hour of work. 
  • A second 30-minute break is required for shifts over 10 hours. 
  • Missing a break means paying an extra hour of wages.

Rest Period Compliance

Rest breaks give employees the downtime they deserve and keep your business compliant. In this video, we share when breaks are required, what makes them compliant, and how to avoid costly penalties.

Remember:

  • Employees must receive a 10-minute duty-free rest break every 4 hours worked.
  • Rest breaks must be uninterrupted, off-duty, and ideally mid-shift. 
  • Missing a required rest break means paying the employee an extra hour of wages for that day.
