# [On Video: The Brinker Decision's Impact](https://promotion-payroll-hr.pinnaclehro.com/human-resources-articles/bid/74293/On-Video-The-Brinker-Decision-s-Impact)

Yesterday, HRWatchdog gave a brief [summary](http://www.hrallencs.com/blog/bid/74261/Brinker-Case-Decided?hsLang=en-us) of the California Supreme Court’s decision in *Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court*, relating to meal and rest breaks.

One key component of this ruling is that employers do not have to ensure that employees take their meal breaks, but must make them available. 

Stay tuned: CalChamber’s employment law experts will have more to say on the ruling. In the interim, take a couple of minutes to watch this [Brinker video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djAUDT2Rfyc&feature=youtu.be) to get an idea of the impact of this decision.
