what is the employee break policy for partime employees in california?

As a general rule, California employers must provide a 10-minute rest period for every 4 hours of work "or major fraction thereof".  It should be as close to the midpoint of the 4 hour period as possible.  A meal period must be provided if the shift exceeds 5 hours.\n\nFor more information, I have included links to the FAQs for the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.

I'm an attorney in California.  In most occupations, a California employer must pay you a least twice per month.  However, there are a number of big exceptions to this rule.\n\nEnforcement of wage laws in California is handled by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.  I have posted a link below to the FAQ on pay periods and what occupations are exempt from the general rule of two pay periods per month.

e-mail (for written notification), but call first... most employers are sympathetic, but if they aren't you may need to contact HR - most companies will give you 3 days off with pay and if you need more, you can take leave.

Manager is taking advantage.\nThis is a violation of labor laws.\nI don't remember what the exact numbers are, but its like 10 or 15 minutes every few hours, and you must get a meal break (like min of 30 minutes) if you work more than 6 or 8 hours.\nManager is shooting himself in the foot anyway. He just has a shop full of tired, unmotivated people, instead of the busy productive employees he thinks he is creating.

i can't answer for Mississippi law, but federal law mandates paid 15 minute breaks for every 4 hours of work.  There is no federal law regarding lunch breaks.

there are no laws... but in the employer's policies there might be something about being sent home early.  Like where I work, we do not have to go unless we want to and they can not work us less than 4 hours unless we want to work less.

You need to take it up with the union cause you need breaks, if nothing is done.  Call the labor department.

The exact laws may be different from state to state - If your from Cal. the link is below.\n\nBut every state is the same as far as hours worked.  If you are on salary - they have to pay you for the entire day, but if you are an hourly employee then no, they only pay you for the time you stood at work.  If you never clocked in then they don't pay you at all for that day.

There is no law that says you get any day off.\n\nNow Government workers might get the day off and certain other unions might negotiate to get the day off, but really its up to the employer.

Actually, breaks are covered under federal wage and hours laws. This is probably what you are looking for:\nhttp://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/whdfs22.htm\n\nThe site for the Georgia Department of Labor is:\nhttp://www.dol.state.ga.us/em/employment_laws_rules.htm

Few states require lunch or rest breaks, if any.  I know that for most employees over the age of 18 in even more politically liberal states like New Jersey do not require rest breaks.  Of course, many states regulate such for minors, but few for workers over the age of 18.\n\nI've included a link to a Department of Labor chart that gives requirements for each state on meal breaks.  It's a pretty short list: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia.\n\nFor rest breaks, the list shrinks to California, Colorad, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.\n\nPerhaps few regulate is because most employers voluntarily give rest breaks to employees to make work more bearable.  Perhaps few regulate because unions, often providing the strongest labor law components in states, don't really care if non-unionized labor is forced to receive breaks, but really works hard to ensure that its own members are protected through contract agreements and bargaining.  Regardless, I hope this information helps.

There is no law in Michigan requiring breaks for meals or otherwise for employees over 18. If your employer has a break policy, the worker must be compeltely free of duties during the break.

There is no federal law requiring breaks.  Check out the site below to see what the laws are in your state.  Personally, being from Michigan, there are absolutely no laws requiring breaks, regardless of hours worked.

You have to wait until the company cuts checks (or whenever your pay period ends) and then the company will usually mail it.  It's pretty standard.  Most managers won't just cut you a check when you give your notice or on your last day.

I think the law varies from state to state, but I know in some states if you work over 4 hours you are supposed to get 1/2 hour lunch break.
