How can I gain access to my Type 2 NPI? about The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandated the adoption of standard unique identifiers for health care providers and health plans.
In California, where employers must provide employees with a 30-minute meal period no later than the end of the fifth hour of work, rounding meal breaks not only creates wage and hour liability under the FLSA, but also risks incurring the meal period penalty under California law, too.
It depends on your state. For example, in California, if you are working a standard shift that is less than 6 hours, you do not have to take a 30 minute lunch-but you cannot work 6 hours. If you work 6 hours or more, you are required to take your lunch by the 5th hour of work.
