I work in northern Calif for a private ambulance and need some clarification on the labor laws dealing with breaks and meal time.
Right now we get no breaks or set meal time. If we are able to make it to a place to get food, order, and get food before running a call or moving for coverage then its a good day. Sometimes we dont get any down time other than the 5-10 min at the hospital doing paperwork other days are slow. I run between 6-10 calls in a 12hr shift on somedays and may not get down time for 6hrs. I'm getting paid normal for 10hrs and double after 12. We get paid for our lunch hour but I saw that Calif law gives you another hour if you worked with out a break. I looked all over but cant find any info. What does the law say for EMS?
Sorry it was so long but I wanted there to be no questions needed.
