Did you experience unpaid or interrupted lunch breaks while working for DaVita?

If you were clocked out for 30 minutes but still answering alarms, watching patients, charting, or staying “available,” that time may legally count as work. A quick, confidential review can help determine whether your lunch breaks should have been paid.

If you were clocked out but still answering alarms, monitoring patients, charting, or staying “available,” your break may legally count as work time — even if it was only for part of the 30 minutes.

Federal wage laws require unpaid meal breaks to be completely free of work duties. Being short-staffed or told to “help if needed” does not automatically make unpaid work legal.

Checking your situation is free and confidential. Your employer is not contacted, your job is not affected, and submitting information does not obligate you to take any action.
