Three bills are currently pending in the California legislature to curb missed break class actions. One basically shortens the statute of limitations to one year from four (SB 1192). Another states that an employer may "provide" an employee with a break merely by, well, providing one: Meaning make one available without interference. (SB 1539) (Note, this may be all the law currently requires). A third states that an employer may comply with the meal break requirement by ensuring the employee is provided with a break anytime within the first six hours. (AB 1034.)
I am confident that these bills will sail through California's democratic legislature.
