We just opened a small distribution center in Mira Loma, California. Our employees are loading customer trucks with our product. What are the required break and meal periods for that state?

The wage orders cover the requirements for meal and rest periods.

Find the order that is applicable to your industry or use No. 4. Click on the most recent order for that No. and then scroll down to the sections on Rest Periods and Meal Periods.
