Employment - Missed Meal/Rest Periods

Employees are entitled to take certain meal and rest periods every day they work. During these times, they must be relieved of all job duties – no multi-tasking is allowed during these meal and rest breaks. Some employers may pressure their employees to work through their meal and rest breaks, or to engage in light duties while taking their breaks. For instance, a server at a restaurant may be asked to fill out paperwork or field questions during their meal break.

If you are not being provided meal and rest periods, you may be owed compensation for missed meal and rest periods.
