The California employment law entitles the workers and employees of an organisation, a meal break and periodic breaks for rest during the workday. This provision in the law is often violated by employers who do not provide the required meal or rest breaks to their employees. They force them to work through their meal time, refuse them to take breaks to visit the bathroom, cut their salaries for the breaks they take, etc. Any kind of break time violations by the employer can be challenged by the employees under the California wage and hour laws.
