It allows rounding punches within 7 minutes and 59 seconds (e.g., 8:00-8:07 rounds to 8:00, 8:08-8:22 rounds to 8:15). While once common, recent California rulings, like Donohue, question its legality, especially for meal breaks, with a pending Supreme Court case (Camp v. Home Depot) potentially ending permissible rounding for work time too.
