Under California's Eight-Hour Day Restoration and Workplace Flexibility Act of 1999, employers are required to allow all workers a 30-minute meal break, if the workday lasts at least five hours. A second meal break is required after 10 hours of work. Workers are also required, under California labor law, to take paid, 10-minute rest breaks every four hours if they work more than three and a half hours a day. Employees who are not allowed these breaks may seek monetary compensation through representation by KBK. Most cases of single employee lawsuits are relatively easily solved without gaining substantial public notice. But large class action suits are rarely settled quietly or quickly.
