California Meal Breaks. California Labor Laws require that employers provide employees with adequate meal breaks. For most occupations, you are entitled to a meal break after 5 hours of work, provided your total days work is more than 6 hours.
In most of the states where employers give rest breaks, employees can take a ten-minute paid rest break for every four hours worked. However, different rules apply to workers who are minors. For example, in the state of Delaware, employers are required to provide minors with a thirty-minute meal break after they worked five hours.
