A nonexempt worker is scheduled for a 6-hour shift with no meal period and no valid waiver. What is the compliance issue?

Correct Answer

A) Meal period.

A meal period is generally required when the work period is more than 5 hours unless a lawful waiver applies.

Answer Options
A
Meal period.
B
Tool allowance.
C
License number.
D
Permit posting.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

A meal period is generally required when the work period is more than 5 hours unless a lawful waiver applies.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: Tool allowance.

Tool allowance. misses the specific employer duty in meal period timing; it does not resolve the pay, reimbursement, status, timing, or record issue.

Option C: License number.

License number. misses the specific employer duty in meal period timing; it does not resolve the pay, reimbursement, status, timing, or record issue.

Option D: Permit posting.

Permit posting. misses the specific employer duty in meal period timing; it does not resolve the pay, reimbursement, status, timing, or record issue.

Memory Technique

Worker money labels stay separate for Reviewing Jobsite: wage, premium, reimbursement, record.

Reference Hint

Study anchor (closed-book): memorize cited employment duty from California DIR/DLSE cited employment dutys FAQ; California Labor Code / California Labor Code Section 512 cited employment duty after more than five hours; know the rule or calculation trigger without relying on exam-room lookup.
