Are unpaid breaks allowed in California?

Asked by simone54 (7186 points ) March 5th, 2013

I’m having trouble finding information on this so I’ll ask here.

I work in a restaurant in California. If I work more than six hours I am required to take an UNPAID half hour break. Are my employers really allowed to make me take an unpaid break?

EDIT: It is considered a “meal period”, does that change anything.
