Meal periods of less than 30 minutes, but not less than 20 minutes, are permitted if it is established industry practice or custom.

If the employee does not work to make up the amount of time used during the unpaid rest periods, the employer is not required to pay the employee for that time. These provisions apply only to employers of 25 or more employees within the state, for each working day during each of 20 or more calendar workweeks in the year in which the rest periods are to be taken or in the year immediately preceding the year in which the rest periods are to be taken. | |
