Lunch Policy of Solar Energy Inc. At Solar Energy Inc., we believe that brain breaks are critical for high performance. Our cafeteria provides nutritious meals, our gym is available for exercise, and our lounge is a comfortable place to relax and recharge. Below, please find the specifics of our lunch break policy. Allotted Time The US Department of Labor requires meal periods of 30 minutes or more. We adhere to California law, which states that employers must provide a lunch break of 30 minutes after five hours of work. Employees at Solar Energy Inc. receive a lunch break following four to five hours of work. To keep the work site functional, we schedule lunch breaks to occur at different times between four and five hours of work. This allows us to provide a full hour of lunch break to every employee. Paid Lunch Breaks State law does not require that lunch breaks be paid. This is why workers can spend eight and a half or nine hours at work. At Solar Energy Inc., we do not agree with this law. Our employees are paid for their lunchtime, because we believe that rest is required for performance. No work is required during this period.
