- Timing and duration of breaks
- Exceptions to the rule
When you can have a Meal Waiver or an On Duty Meal Period
Employer Responsibilities and Penalties for Non-Compliance
- Tracking meal and rest periods
- Common violations and how to avoid them
- How to manage employees who refuse their breaks and meal periods.
How to maximize your time keeping software and paper timecards to demonstrate compliance
Best Practices for Managing Meal and Rest Periods in the Workplace
- Timecard Audit Tips
- How to handle violators or those that try and cheat the clock

Whether you're a business owner, HR professional, or manager, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge needed to ensure compliance and avoid costly mistakes.
