In Donohue v. AMN Service, LLC, the Supreme Court held that “employers cannot engage in the practice of rounding time punches — that is, adjusting the hours that an employee has actually worked to the nearest preset time increment — in the meal period context. The meal period provisions are designed to prevent even minor infringements on meal period requirements, and rounding is incompatible with that objective.” Donohue v. AMN Services, LLC, No. S253677 (Cal., Feb. 25, 2021) at *1.
