§ 8846 Contract Waiver Prohibition

• •You can't sign away your rights under this law, even if you agree to it in a contract.
• •This rule is here to protect everyone, so no one can trick you into giving up these rights.
• •If a contract tries to ignore this law, that part of the contract is not valid.

You sign a work contract that says you won’t get breaks, even though the law says you should.

That part of the contract is not allowed. The law says you must get breaks, and you can’t agree to give them up.
