The current version of Labor Code section 226.7 provides a
penalty of one hour's pay for each day that an employee is
required to work during any required meal or rest period. Cal-OSHA
regulations require employers of certain outdoor workers to
encourage and allow the workers to take a cool down rest in the
shade for a period of no less than five minutes at a time when they
feel the need to do so to prevent overheating.
Senate Bill 435 expands Labor Code section 226.7, making it
applicable to missed recovery periods, unless the employee is
exempt from the recovery period rules. The law defines a recovery
period as a cool down period afforded an employee to prevent heat
illness.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
