If you regularly work an eight-hour shift and your employer doesn’t provide you with a meal period, you can either file a wage claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or you can file a lawsuit in court against your employer to recover the premium of one additional hour of pay at your regular rate of compensation for each workday that the meal period is not provided.
