Hey everyone, SO here's the deal.
I work 10pm - 6:30am
Then have to be back 12pm - 5pm
So that's 5 and 1/2 rest hours between shifts.
And all together in a 24hour period a 11 1/2 Work period
Is that legally allowed?
I have looked on the CA labor law website and saw some stuff, but honestly don't understand it. lol. any help would be great.

CA law says you can work 24 hours a day, time off between shifts only apply to occupations such interstate truck drivers, pilots etc.
In CA you're entitled to a 30 min unpaid lunch for, I suppose, running 6 hours or longer. You additionally get a ten min paid holiday for each and every four hours that you simply paintings. Bathroom breaks do not depend towards that 10 min holiday, even though in jobs like yours your possibility to make use of the toilet could also be constrained. What they're doing sounds unlawful. Talk on your supervisor approximately getting your breaks. If he does not do something, cross to HR or to his supervisor. For what it is valued at, considered one of my sister's former employers (in CA) misplaced a lawsuit over breaks, on the grounds that they had been making staff clock out for his or her 10 min breaks. Being a category movement lawsuit, she obtained an excessively small sum of money out of it. But the lawsuit did drive the corporation to difference their holiday coverage. CA hard work legislation do not practice to ALL varieties of jobs. For illustration, in a few jobs in which you have got to be at your table always, with downtime commonly (like protection guards), they do not get a lunch holiday on the grounds that they are able to consume lunch at their table at any time when they've a few unfastened time. These sorts of process classifications do not continually make experience - my husband as soon as labored as a residence wellbeing aide, that is legally regarded the identical sort of process as a butler or maid so he did not get time and a part for additional time.
I don't recall there being anything written about an employer must give an employee X hours between shifts. However, since a day starts at midnight, you'd be working on the second day 11.5 hours (minus whatever you get for lunch) so they'd have to pay you overtime for anything beyond 8 hours per day. That's why most employers don't make their employees work more hours per day.
there is no time off requirement between shifts for most jobs.....
now to your question about what you saw on the internet it is probably concerning daily overtime:
the employer sets the definition of the work-day and the work-week, if you worked those hours and they were in the same work-day then you would be entitled to daily overtime (CA does require daily overtime with limited exceptions and exemptions)
so how is your employers work-day defined?
