Can employees working shifts of six hours or less sign written prospective (or “blanket”) meal waivers? Since employees don’t clock out for rest breaks, how do employers show they are properly providing breaks? Can meal breaks be scheduled to avoid liability for violations? We’ll answer these questions — and more — at CalChamber’s June 26, 2025, California Meal and Rest Break Rules webinar.
