06 FAQ
California break audits, answered carefully
What does a California break audit report flag?
Missing first meal periods on shifts over 5 hours, meal periods starting after the end of the fifth hour, meal periods under 30 minutes, missing or late second meal periods on shifts over 10 hours, rest breaks attested as missed, and shifts with no usable rest-break records. Detected issues are always separated from record gaps so your report stays defensible.
Which payroll and timekeeping exports are supported?
ADP Workforce Now, Gusto, Paychex Flex, and Homebase exports are auto-detected, plus a documented generic CSV format that works with any system. Square, 7shifts, Deputy, Toast, and UKG/Kronos mappings are added on request during pilots.
How is unpaid premium exposure estimated?
One premium hour per category per workday under California Labor Code section 226.7, valued at the regular rate of pay where the export provides it and otherwise the base hourly rate. Premiums already paid in payroll are credited, and every figure traces back to source rows. Reports show an estimate range, not false precision.
What about rest breaks that are not punched?
Most California employers do not punch rest breaks. BreakAuditor imports rest-break attestations where they exist and reports shifts without usable rest records as record gaps rather than violations.
Is this legal advice?
No. BreakAuditor provides operational audit support based on imported timecard and payroll data. Reports state their assumptions, separate detected issues from missing records, and recommend review by payroll, HR, or employment counsel before action is taken.
How does white-labeling work?
Reports carry your firm name and brand color on the cover and throughout. Your clients see your firm, not ours. You set your own audit pricing — most consultants charge $750 to $2,500 per audit.
