The standard trademark application done online is $225 per mark, per class of goods and services. This is done with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). With regards to actual hard filing costs, if the mark is not yet in use and you file the application on an ‘intent to use’ basis, there would be an additional fee of $100 (per class of goods/services) down the line, once the application has gone through the approval and publication stage, to file the ‘statement of use’ showing that the mark is now being used in commerce. (If the mark is already being used in commerce, this filing wouldn’t be required.) If any office actions are issued or other actions from the USPTO requiring a response, there’s not usually a cost from the USPTO associated with filing those responses, but the fees/time required to respond vary, depending on the complexity of the needed response.

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design that is intended to identify and distinguish the source (i.e. seller) of goods or services from another party. Essentially, trademarks are how a business identifies goods in the marketplace as being sold by that business, so that a consumer knows to equate that good with that seller; the underlying goal of the trademark system is to avoid consumer confusion. (Think McDonald’s golden arches, the Nike swoosh, Pepsi’s red and blue logo, the Apple apple with a bite out of it, etc.).
A copyright is an original work of authorship (books, poems, articles, songs, photographs, sculptures, choreography, sound recordings, motion pictures, etc.) that a person ‘fixes in a tangible medium’. Essentially, as soon as a person takes a photograph or draws something or writes down something, he or she has a copyright in that item. (The originality comes from the fact that, even if you’re taking a picture of say the Statute of Liberty that millions of people have already taken, there is originality in the fact that only you, at that exact moment, have created that particular work (photo) and fixed it in a medium (digital file).)
California Labor Code section 512 outlines that an employee must receive at least 30 minutes of a "meal period" if working more than five hours a day. The employee can waive the meal period if the total work period for the employee is no more than six hours. Similarly, for a longer work period...

California Labor Code section 512 outlines that an employee must receive at least 30 minutes of a "meal period" if working more than five hours a day. The employee can waive the meal period if the total work period for the employee is no more than six hours. Similarly, for a longer work period of 10-12 hours, the employee must be provided a second 30 minute meal period. This second meal period can only be waived by mutual consent of the employer and employee if the first meal period was not waived. During the meal periods, the employee must not have any work duties to perform. If the employer fails to provide an employee a proper meal period, the penalty is the employer shall pay the employee one (1) hour of pay for each workday that the meal period is not provided.
