Action Needed: Help The Chamber Reform The Meal Period
Law
SB
287 will provide clarity and guidance for compliance with and
enforcement of meal-period laws and regulations. It offers a
comprehensive solution that will serve employers and employees
across all industries regardless of the size or union status of
an employer’s workforce.
It does so by
clarifying an employer’s obligation to provide meal breaks and
the ability to enter into agreements for on-duty meal periods in
appropriate situations, and authorizes labor and management to
negotiate for meal period provisions in collective bargaining
agreements.
