$8,500,000.00 Settlement for Meal and Rest Break Violations
$8,500,000 Settlement — Meal and Rest Break Violations
Employees were denied legally required meal and rest breaks. Attorney Eric Kingsley negotiated an $8.5 million settlement on the workers' behalf. Further case details are confidential.
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.
Contact Kingsley Szamet Employment Lawyers if you believe your meal or rest break rights have been violated.
