Abernethy (https://www.weintraub.com/people/ryan-e-abernethy/) and associate John Slavik (https://www.weintraub.com/people/john-slavik/) break down a common misconception about employee meal breaks and explain why an employee choosing to work through lunch does not automatically protect an employer from liability. They discuss the “no policing” rule, meal period records, premium payments, and how employers can address recurring break issues before they become larger compliance risks.
