California Rest Breaks

California state law requires employers to provide employees with 10 minute paid rest breaks when working a minimum number of hours. The number of rest breaks an employee is required to take is based on the total number of hours worked during the day with a minimum time of 210 minutes.

To help employers stay in compliance, the California Rest Break functionality in Bullhorn Time & Expense tracks the number of minutes an employee has been clocked in and, when the 210 minute threshold has been met, the employee is prompted upon punching out to answer if they have taken their mandated rest breaks.

California Rest Break functionality supports the following time entry methods:

  • Time Management Console (TMC)
  • Web Time Entry (WTE)
  • Tempo Clock
  • Virtual Time Clock (VTC)
  • Cloud Clock
  • Mobile Clock
