Waiver of Second Meal Period (CA)

Employers must provide California employees a minimum thirty (30) minute meal period for every five (5) hours of work. However, the employer and its employees may mutually agree to waive the employee's second meal period if the employee works more than ten (10) hours, but less than twelve (12), assuming the first (1st) meal period was not waived. This form can be used to document such an agreement.

Employers should be aware that there are some exceptions to these regulations, dependent on industry. To learn more about California meal and rest period regulations, visit the CA Dept. of Industrial Relations website.
