Generated by Break Schedule on 2026-01-15T17:30:00.000Z using Ruleset ca-2026-01. Decision-support only — not legal advice. Verify compliance independently.

Every meal period and rest break above was placed by the live engine, then staggered so same-department coworkers do not all leave the floor at once.

Why trust the output

Auditable by design

No testimonials yet, this is an early, invite-only beta. Here is what makes the output dependable, stamped with ruleset ca-2026-01.

Versioned rulesets

Every schedule is stamped with the ruleset that produced it.

Encodes the statute

California meal and rest break law, not a guess.

You verify the result

The tool drafts. It does not sign off.

Reviewed by hand

Every invite request is read and approved by a person.

Pricing

Free while in invite-only beta.

No tiers, no card, no trial clock. We are still learning what the product should be with a small group of California retailers. Pricing comes later, and beta participants will hear about it first.
