CA Supreme Court Clarifies Rule on Breaks

Employers must give meal-and-rest breaks but do not have to make sure employees take them.

Employers must make meal-and-rest breaks available to employees but do not have to make sure they take them, the state supreme court unanimously ruled in Brinker v. Superior Court (S166350).

The opinion provides guidance for California employers but does not end the litigation involving Brinker's International Inc., the restaurant chain hit in 2004 with a class action suit on behalf of 60,000 current and former employees who claim they were not given proper breaks, reports the Daily Journal.
