Existing law, including statutory law and wage orders issued by the Industrial Welfare Commission, with certain exceptions, requires an employer to provide employees with rest breaks during working hours, as specified. Existing law requires that employees be relieved of all duties during rest periods. Existing law requires the employer to pay the employee one additional hour of pay at the employee's regular rate of compensation for each workday that a meal or rest or recovery period is not provided.
