Human Resources

I am regularly scheduled to work an eight-hour shift. What can I do if my employer doesn’t allow me to take a rest break?

You can either file a wage claim (the Labor Commissioner’s Office), or you can file a lawsuit in court against your employer to recover the the premium of one additional hour of pay at your regular rate of compensation for each workday that the rest period is not provided.
