Meal and rest break compliance with Deputy

Meal and rest break compliance software

Many states have strict rules for scheduling and recording breaks. States like California require premium pay for missed breaks — with high penalties for breaches. 

Deputy can help employers schedule the right breaks, flag any that are missed, record agreement from employees if they waive their break, and flag on timesheets when missed break premium pay is owed.

Compliance with FLSA

Compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act

  • Overtime

    Most nonexempt employees get paid at least 1.5x their regular rate for working over 40 hours in a week. Deputy can flag overtime hours on employee timesheets and even help you find staff who are available to work the shift without incurring overtime pay.

  • Child labor laws

    If you have employees under the age of 18, state and federal child labor laws may place restrictions on the days, times, and number of hours they can work in order to protect their well-being. Deputy can help you manage these requirements with simple scheduling guardrails.

Compliance with other federal, state, and local laws

  • Premium pay

    Premium pay is state-specific, including California's premiums for split shifts or New York’s spread of hours premium pay. Deputy’s pay rule library can simplify compliance with these requirements by flagging hours that should incur premium pay on employee timesheets.

  • Leave law compliance

    Leave laws can be complicated. Depending on the rules that apply to your business, your employees may be entitled to many different types of leave. Deputy offers a leave engine that enables you to set up leave rules for your team in just a few clicks.
