California meal and rest break law for pt workers

[Swanson]

I noticed the unit manager chiseled my time card the other day,I worked 6hours 20 min and the pos changed it to 6 hours.(He has done this a couple of times)So I looked up the lunch law because of his greed,and found that I am owed a 2nd ten minute paid break and an unpaid lunch break by hitting over 6 hours.By not giving the second break,or the lunch they owe me a full hour of pay for each break and meal violation(2 hours).Is this how this works or am I missing something here?If I work more than 5 hours can I also nail them for not offering the lunch after I work 5 hours and one minute?

Yup.....this is how it works.
They will screw you every chance they get in hopes you won't notice it.
Been happening for years.

But then they'll fire you for dishonesty......

Check your union contract.

Check your union contract.

Wouldn't state and federal laws supercede the contract?

I believe there is a exemption for CBAs in the CA lunch/Rest laws. I'd have to double check.

Where I'm at we get no break or lunch but I'm glad I don't live in California.

Thanks for that super helpful information. We were all wondering if you had a opinion about CA. Now we know.

Have you considered moving out of California or are you still waiting for your extra career to pay off?

And move to a hole like Texas? Lol

From my understanding correct me if I am wrong,If you work over 5 hours they have to offer you a lunch during the 4th hour you are allowed to waive the lunch(but they have to ask if you want it). Over 6 hours theres a mandatory lunch and a 2nd 10 minute rest break.

You don’t got to live in cali to be one of those (actors).

Not if you’re a liberal who cries racism every time they stump their toe. You stay right where you are.

Texas Is a hole state trying to poach on California, the world's 5th largest economy.

Just the opposite-- Texas don't want the California people moving in. They would prefer if you stayed in your own hole.

WA CA OR all have very similar laws in this regard. The contract supercedes the state law however it's important to know that the union contract has to have specific language to override the state law. and we regulate laws through state statute similar to how we have local practices within a given Teamsters contract.

Here we follow the state laws almost to a tee except we refer PT employees to the FT contract in that lunches are taken for 8 or greater hour shifts. Some people may argue that PT do not abide by the FT contract and therefore get a lunch after 6 but this is just how it's been implemented aka makes the most sense.

It's important to know that we afford PT employees articles to the FT contract in the past when doing FT work so it's not just a one-way deal.
