Understanding Meal, Rest, and Recovery Periods Employees are entitled to specific break periods under labor laws. California law, for example, requires employers to provide:
Meal breaks: A 30-minute unpaid meal break for shifts over five hours, and a second break for shifts over ten hours.
Rest breaks: A paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked.
Recovery periods: Required cool-down periods to prevent heat-related illnesses.
Employers who fail to comply with these laws may owe employees compensation, including premium pay for missed breaks.
