Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Breaks

You are obligated to be at your station right up to the lunch 'bell' and ready start work again at the end 'bell'.

Lunch can't be 'waived'; they must give you the break. You're entitled to a break approximately every two hours. Normally, that means a morning break, lunch, afternoon break, in eight hours. A six hour shift [?] would include a morning break, lunch, and then end of shift. If the employees are not getting those breaks, they are entitled to make a 'denial' claim that includes pay and penalties and interest. If that is the case, and if the employer is in SoCAL, feel free to contact me for legal help.
