What Happened
Employees at a national shoe store chain were consistently denied their legally mandated meal and rest breaks. Attorney Eric Kingsley negotiated a $3.5 million settlement securing fair compensation for the affected workers.
What This Means for You
California law entitles most employees to a 30-minute meal break for shifts over five hours and a 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked. If your employer has denied or discouraged these breaks, you may be owed compensation.
