Human Resources

I regularly work an eight-hour shift. What can I do if my employer doesn’t provide me with a meal period?

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