Meal & Rest Breaks: What Does the Brinker Decision Mean for Your Workplace

This important webinar analyzes the California Supreme Court's decision on Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court, rendered April 12, 2012, and how it impacts current meal and rest break requirements for nonexempt employees.

Our employment law experts break down the decision in an understandable manner. You’ll learn best practices and tips on complying with the Court’s decision, too.

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. 

The long-awaited decision in Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Courtcase was finally rendered by the California Supreme Court on April 12, 2012.



Employers have anxiously waited for guidance from the California Supreme Court on the following issues:

  • Must employers simply make meal breaks available or must the employer ensure that the meal period is taken?
  • When during an employee's shift must the meal period occur?
  • 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 rest breaks be taken?

Let our employment law experts interpret the decision for you to ensure you're ready to implement the new ruling.
