If your employer doesn’t allow you to take a rest break, you can either file a wage claim with the California Labor Commissioner’s office with the help of an employment lawyer, 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 pay (how much you typically get paid) for each workday that the employer didn’t allow you to take a rest break.
