Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Not legal on several levels. First off, the meal break must be taken at or near the middle of your shift. Second, you are entitled to two additional paid breaks that you are not getting.

Timothy McCormick was right again. Listen to his advice above. Meal break is at the middle of the working day. You also get two paid breaks under law.

I concur with Mr. McCormick.

There you have it: two lawyers telling you the same thing. Trust us.

Employees are entitled to and required to take an unpaid lunch break at about the 1/2 way point in an 8 hour shift, and to two paid breaks so as to make the shift into four units of about two hours each. You have a claim for denied breaks and lunches, penalties for failure to provide them, interest on the unpaid compensation owed, and to attorney fees if you win.
