Survey of state laws

[Marco11]

I'm trying to put together an informational piece of literature for a training I'm doing. Does anyone (perhaps cbg?) know of (or generously willing to share):

(1) a list of states that require mandatory meal and/or rest breaks, in their wage and hour laws, and
(2) a list of states that require overtime pay for all hours over 8 in a day (as opposed to only 40 in a week). California is the only one I know of.

Thanks in advance!

Mark, I believe cbg purchases some sort of all-State employment law/statute guide and she may be able to give you the name of that publication.

Plan B would be to check the DOL websites of each State and see if they have a statute on rest/meal breaks and daily overtime (which is what I do when individual questions arise.) Many of the States have an employment law FAQ section that include basic questions like this - although there are others where finding even the most basic employment law information is challenging.

Marco, send me a PM. I am doing a similar project for a client and may be able to provide you with a fair amount of information.
