According to State law…”Unless the employee is relieved of all duty during his or her thirty minute meal period, the meal period shall be considered an "on duty" meal period that is counted as hours worked which must be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay”. In this industry, care home staff oftentimes must work through their lunch or breaks to tend to clients. If this is happening your state laws may require that you have written confirmation from each employee where they agree to work and be paid through their lunch breaks. If an agreement is not documented, you risk fines or potential employee lawsuits. This agreement addresses the nature of the work in a residential care facility and waives meal and break periods. Please refer to your local or state laws for more information.
