Why this matters

California Labor Code §226.7 and §512: a first meal break must start by the end of the 5th hour; shifts over 10 hours need a second. Every missed or late break owes the employee one extra hour of premium pay — multiplied across a 60-person event crew, one bad schedule is real money. CalaBreak validates every break against the law before your event, not after.

⚖️

Compliance-first engine

Every break checked against California meal-break deadlines, with safety buffers before legal limits and explicit warnings when a schedule can't comply.

🔥

Hot times

Mark your event's peak hours as Tier 2 (reduced breaks) and critical windows as Tier 1 (all hands) — per position. Breaks flow around your event, and the law still always wins.

🔄

Floater routing

No more floaters wandering the venue. Each one gets a planned route — covering your highest-priority positions first, moving area to area with purpose — with their own legally required breaks built into the plan.

📊

Visualize every break and every gap

The whole event on one timeline — every break by area and position, floater coverage routes, hot time windows, and concurrency heatmaps. Spot an understaffed hour in seconds, drag across the timeline to adjust, and export to CSV for the clipboard crowd.
