Working hours.
Summary
Existing law requires an employer to provide an employee with one meal period during a work period of more than 5 hours and 2 meal periods during a work period of 10 hours, as prescribed. This bill would allow an employee driver of a charter-party carrier licensed by the California Public Utilities Commission to take an on-duty meal period if specified conditions are met.
