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.
Rounding Hours Worked. Some employers track employee hours worked in 15 minute increments, and the FLSA allows an employer to round employee time to the nearest quarter hour. However, an employer may violate the FLSA minimum wage and overtime pay requirements if the employer always rounds down. Employee time from 1 to 7 minutes may be rounded down, and thus not counted as hours worked, but employee time from 8 to 14 minutes must be rounded up and counted as a quarter hour of work time.
