This Law Firm Publication by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. discusses the US District Court for the Central District of California's recent holding in Mendoza v. Nordstrom, Inc., that an employer did not violate California's day of rest statute where the plaintiff employees voluntarily worked for more than six days in a row. Similar to the California Supreme Court's decision in Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court, the district court noted that while employers must provide employees with a day of rest, they do not have to ensure employees take that day off.
