Rest and Meal Breaks – It is Not About Lunch!

In this episode, Jen and Erika Frank remind employers about their obligation to provide hourly employees with compliant rest and meal breaks.  Jen also discusses Ferra v. Loews Hollywood Hotel, a 2021 California Supreme Court decision in which the Court determined that the premium pay owed to an employee for a missed rest or meal break is calculated based on the employee’s regular rate of pay, and not at the employee’s base rate of pay.
