The employer must provide one hour compensation for every work day a meal break was missed, not for every time a violation occurred. If an employer fails to provide an employee a meal period in accordance with the applicable provisions of this order, the employer shall pay the employee one (1) hour of pay at the employee’s regular rate of compensation for each workday that the meal period is not provided, not for every violation. For example, if an employee worked 12 hours shift, and was not provided his 2 meal breaks, the employee should be compensated one (1) hour of regular pay for that workday, not (2) hours for the two times the meal break violation occurred. In addition, this additional hour is not counted as hours worked for purposes of overtime calculations.
