RIVERSIDE WAGE LAWYER FOR MISSED MEAL AND REST BREAKS
Don't mess around with safety. Part of safety is giving workers meal and rest breaks. Without rest and food it is difficult to concentrate on precise tasks that involve physical exertion.
One rest break should be given before the meal break and one rest break should be given after the meal break if the shift is 7 hours or more.
Construction workers waiting for a delivery, or waiting for a concrete truck to come are not on break. That time is considered waiting at attention, and must be compensated for. Moreover, the time spent waiting may not be long enough for an uninterrupted 30 minute meal break or rest break.

Common examples of meal break violations include
- Employers changing employee’s clock-in and clock-out times
- Somebody other than the employee filling out the time sheet
- Meal break schedules where employees start their meal breaks after their 5th hour of work
- Being required to answer your phone when on a meal break
- Warehouse quotas that make taking a meal break impossible
- You are the only employee at the work location and cannot abandon the shop
- You are told not to take a meal break and wait
- There are no records showing when you took a meal break
- Your meal breaks were interrupted
- You were forced to take your meal breaks on the employer’s premise
