There is no better way to understand how employment works in the construction industry than to work in it. Meal breaks are not possible when there is concrete being pumped, or concrete that needs to be finished before it dries. Overtime might be required the day before the city inspector is coming. Time records may not be written by the actual employee, or even kept on site. Employees driving their trucks to pick up materials need to be reimbursed. When there is a two man lift the next thirty minutes, it is not time to take a rest break. God forbid somebody gets hurt driving heavy machinery, including the old small skid steer below. CALL (951) 367-1000 if you want to be represented by an attorney who knows exactly how it works on a construction site ## I am Karl Gerber and I represent quite a few [construction workers](https://riversideemploymentlawyer.com/attorney-for-employee-rights/).
