SB452

Hawaii SB452 mandates meal breaks for employees working more than five consecutive hours.

Hawaii SB452 amends state labor laws to require employers to provide a minimum thirty-minute meal break for employees working more than five consecutive hours. This bill aligns Hawaii with several other states that have similar meal break requirements for employees over sixteen years old. Employers found in violation of this provision face financial penalties, escalating from $100 for the first offense to $500 for subsequent offenses.
