Meal breaks

Below are some general guidelines for recording meal breaks on timecards in Wrapbook. Keep in mind that rules about meal breaks depend on your union affiliations and work location. For questions about meal break rules that apply to you specifically, contact your Production Administrator.

  • Workers need to enter their Meal Start and Meal End times during their workday

  • Workers can add multiple meal breaks using the "+ Add Meal" button.

  • Meal breaks must occur during work time - meals taken before Start Time or after End Time should not be entered

  • In California, meal penalties are mandatory for non-union workers, while they’re optional in other locations

  • For non-union workers in California, meal penalties apply if there is no 30-minute break at the 6-hour mark

  • The maximum amount a meal break can deduct is 1 hour in California

  • A maximum of one non-union meal penalty will be paid for each day therest period is violated regardless of the number of times, Per CA IWC Article 12

  • When NDB appears on your timecard, it means Non-Deductible Breakfast (or meal). This is a paid meal break of at least 15 minutes that can be given to a performer or crew member who reports to work earlier than general crew call to re-set the clock so their meal break aligns with the rest of the crew. The NDB must be given within 2 hours of their call time.
