Webinar: The Brinker Decision and How It Impacts Your Meal Break Policies
Topics: CDF News & Events, Wage & Hour Issues
The California Supreme Court is expected to issue its long-awaited decision in Brinker v. Superior Court (Hohnbaum) by April 12, 2012. This decision is expected to finally answer the much litigated question of what it means to "provide" a meal break under California law.
Must employers ensure that non-exempt employees take full 30 minute meal breaks, or must they merely provide employees the opportunity to take such breaks? The Court's decision will also address whether a meal break is required to be provided every five hours on a rolling basis. These important issues have been the subject of numerous class action lawsuits against California employers and have left employers with uncertainty on how best to administer and enforce meal break requirements to avoid such litigation.
Please join us for a one time complimentary webinar on April 18, 2012 from 10:30-11:45 a.m. PDT during which we will discuss the Brinker decision, how it impacts meal break policies and practices for California employers going forward, and what employers should do in its wake.
