Meal Period Waivers

Automate Compliance.

Eliminate Paper.

Reduce Risk.

Digital waivers help ensure you don’t get taken to lunch in a wage and hour lawsuit

Cal Comply’s online Meal Period Waivers help employers comply with meal period rules, help minimize class and PAGA exposure, and create audit-ready records—all without paper forms or manual tracking that burden your HR teams.

When paper is involved, your risk is high. Digital waivers offer employers a solution.

Meal Period Violations Are a Lawsuit Magnet

In California, employers must prove they provided employees with meal periods at the right time and of the proper duration, or they risk a class action and/or PAGA lawsuit that could result in 6-, 7-, or even 8-figure exposure depending on company size.


Signed meal period waivers allow employees to choose not to take meal breaks on certain occasions, but if waivers are lost, invalid, or misfiled, exposure skyrockets.
