On the Brink of a Decision

Posted on Fri, Oct 28, 2011

The California Supreme Court will soon issue its opinion in the widely talked about?Brinker?meal and rest periods case. A hearing is set for November 8, 2011, and a final decision is due within 90 days of that date.

In question are the meaning and requirements of California’s rule on meal and rest breaks. The court’s written opinion will decide:

  • Whether employers must ensure employees take their meal and rest periods or simply make the breaks available

  • When employees must take their meal break

  • The number of required rest breaks during a shift and when they must occur
