Answer: Your California employer does not have to pay you for a meal break.

These breaks aren't always that popular with employees. You work in retail, so you're likely thankful for a bit of time off your feet and out of the public eye.

The term gross profit margin refers to the ratio between revenue and gross profit. If the business is said to have a low margin, such as a grocery store, it means that the cost of sales is high in relationship to revenues. 100% markup becomes a 50% margin. With a cost of $1.00 and a 100% markup, the markup is $1.00 and gross revenue is $2.00. The markup is 100% of the cost (markup of $1.00/Cost of $1.00=100%). However, the margin is 50% â the markup divided by gross revenue (markup [or gross profit] of $1.00/Revenue of $2.00=50%).
