Why Buzzer Systems Can Backfire in California Meal Break Lawsuits—Wage & Hour Law

For years, California employers—especially in manufacturing—used buzzer or bell systems to signal meal and rest breaks. The idea was simple: create proof that employees were taking breaks on time. But in today’s litigation climate, that strategy can actually backfire. In this video, Alex Medina explains: ✅ Why meal and rest break claims are the most common wage and hour class action allegations ✅ How buzzer systems once helped employers defend lawsuits ✅ Why courts and plaintiff’s lawyers now use them as evidence of violations ✅ How even a two-minute interruption can create liability ✅ What a modern, legally sound approach to meal and rest break compliance looks like California courts expect employers to monitor and enforce meal and rest breaks the same way they would a safety issue. That requires a holistic, multi-layered strategy—not outdated quick fixes. If you’re relying on a buzzer system—or considering removing one—you need to be thoughtful and strategic about your approach. 👉 Have questions about strengthening your meal and rest break practices?
