Wage and hour law in California is the area of employment law that governs how employees are paid and ensures that employers are following the California Labor Code. Under the California Labor Code, eligible employees are entitled to mandatory rest and meal breaks, and employers face penalties if they fail to provide these mandatory breaks.
