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 thirty-minute meal break for employees working more than five consecutive hours. This applies to all employees over the age of sixteen, aligning with several other states that have similar requirements. Employers who fail to comply face financial penalties for each offense. The bill does not affect existing rights, penalties, or proceedings initiated before its effective date.
