As a result of their rigorous work schedules, Taco Bell employees were allegedly unable to take off duty meal breaks and were not fully relieved of duty for meal periods. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges employees were from time to time interrupted during their off-duty meal breaks to complete tasks for Taco Bell. Employees were allegedly required to perform work as ordered by Taco Bell for more than five (5) hours during a shift without receiving an off-duty meal break. Further, the lawsuit alleges Taco Bell failed to provide employees with a second off-duty meal period each workday in which these employees were required by Taco Bell to work ten (10) hours of work. The policy of Taco Bell, allegedly caused employees to remain on-call and on duty during what was supposed to be their off-duty meal periods. Employees therefore allegedly forfeited meal breaks without additional compensation and in accordance with the strict corporate policy and practice of Taco Bell.

The knowledge, expertise and guidance of cybersecurity professionals in organisations help increase awareness of vulnerability and learn about what is required to protect organisations or healthcare professionals. Most healthcare professionals know that to help people live better lives, they have to help them understand the impact of the lifestyle choices they make.
Therefore, they are usually fully invested in informing, educating and supporting people in making good choices. In most organisations, cybersecurity is moving in the same direction and can no longer be the Department of NO.
This webinar will help attendees understand why cybersecurity is important and why organisations are adopting some of the policies and processes that they are. The expert speaker will talk about the value of health data and why health organizations are being increasingly targeted. The attendees will get to learn about the big business of ransomware and extortion and how it is evolving and increasing risk.
The speaker will also delve into all the things that people and organisations can and are doing to protect systems, data and people, and how attendees can make a difference in their organisations by understanding the importance and impact of cybersecurity.
Register for this webinar today to understand the importance of cybersecurity in healthcare and explore the delicate balance between operational efficiency and data protection in life-saving environments.
Join Penny Longman, Director, Information Security, Fraser Health Authority, Vancouver, Canada, for the live webinar on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, at 1pm EDT (10am PDT).
