§ 8820 Contract Waiver Prohibition

• •You can't sign away your rights under this law, even if you agree to it in a contract.
• •No contract can say this law doesn't apply to you.
• •This rule is here to protect everyone, no matter what.

You sign a job 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 no contract can take that away.
