How does Axial Shift handle California restaurant labor laws?

What California restaurants have to track

• Daily overtime after 8 hours and double time after 12, plus seventh-consecutive-day rules
• A 30-minute meal period by the end of the fifth hour, and a second one on long shifts
• A 10-minute paid rest break for every four hours worked, or major fraction
• An extra hour of pay when a meal or rest break is missed, late or short
• Split-shift premiums and minor work rules

How Axial handles it

• Overtime, meal-break, rest-break and split-shift rules are set for each location, so every store follows its own state and city rules.
• The Daily Guide reminds managers before breaks come due, and upcoming breaks can show on the back-of-house display.
• Employees attest to their breaks, and Axial flags missed or late breaks for a manager to review. Axial doesn't change punches on its own, so your team stays in control of the record.
• Axial calculates California premium pay, including missed, late or short meal and rest breaks and split-shift premiums.
• Axial's labor rules cover the edge cases, not just the basics.
• A break audit report shows compliance and premium-pay exposure by store and employee.
• Minor rules are enforced in scheduling, with each store's school calendar.
• Hours count toward overtime across every store an employee works at, and managers approve punches before payroll.
