employee with a second meal period of not less than 30 minutes, except that if the total hours worked is no more than 12 hour s, 
the second meal period  may be waived  by mutual consent of the employer and the employee only if the first meal period was  not  
waived.  
(C)  Unless the employee is relieved of all duty during a 30 minute meal period, the meal period shall be considered an “on 
duty” meal period and  counted as time worked. An “on duty” meal period shall be permitted only when the nature of the work 
prevents an employee from being relieved of all duty and when by written agreement between the parties an on- the-job paid meal 
period is agreed to. The wri tten agreement shall state that the employee may, in writing, revoke the agreement at any time.   
(D)  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 work day that the 
meal period is not provided.

minutes net rest time per four (4) hours or major fraction  thereof. 
However,  a  rest  period  need not  be  authorized  for employees  whose  total daily  work  time  is  less  than  three  and one- half (3	
1/2) 
hours. Authorized rest period time shall be  counted as hours worked for which there shall be no deduction from  wages.  
(B)  If an employer fails to provide an employee a rest 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 work  day that the 
rest period is not  provided.

clothing, change  rooms or  equivalent  space  shall  be  provided  in order  that  employees  may  change  their clothing  in  reasonable  
privacy  and comfort. These rooms or spaces  may be adjacent to but shall be separate from toilet rooms and shall be kept  clean.

exc essive  heat  or  humidity  to  a  degree  providing  reasonable  comfort. Where  the nature  of the  employment  requires  a  temperature 
of  less  than  60° F.,  a  heated  room shall  be  provided  to which  employees  may  retire  for  warmth,  and  such  room  shall  be  maintained 
at not less than  68°.
