Under Labor Code §512, the first meal period may be waived by mutual consent only when the employee's total work period for the day does not exceed 6 hours. The second meal period may be waived by mutual consent only if the shift is no more than 12 hours and the first meal period was not waived. Waivers are limited and require agreement; they are neither at the employer's sole discretion nor categorically prohibited.
