Common types of wage claims in Bakersfield involve employees in the oil industry who work on oil rigs. These individuals often are not allowed to leave their rig to take their lunch break. By law, non-exempt employees must be given a 30-minute, unpaid, off-duty meal period for every five hours they work. If not allowed to leave, these rig workers usually are entitled to one hour of pay for each missed lunch period. They can claim the unpaid hour of pay in a wage claim, either by filing with the Bakersfield Labor Commissioner or in civil court.
