In April 2012, the California Supreme Court finally released its long awaited
decision in Brinker Restaurant Corp. v.
Superior Court.
The decision in the Brinker case is important to all California
employers and nonexempt workers because it involves employers' obligations
relating to meal and rest breaks for nonexempt employees. The question of
whether employers must ensure employees take breaks or must simply provide
breaks has been a source of significant litigation in both federal and state
courts.
Employers have anxiously waited for guidance from the Supreme Court on these
issues:
Must employers simply make meal breaks available or must employers
ensure the meal break is taken?
What is the timing of the meal break? Are employers obligated to
make a meal break available for every five consecutive hours of work?
How many rest breaks are required during a shift?
When must employees take their rest breaks?
CalChamber’s "The Brinker Decision: Analysis and Guidance" white
paper provides a summary of the key decision and will help you interpret the ruling which requires employers to examine
meal and rest break policies.
