I heard under California law, your employer must pay a min. of 4 hours once they start you?

Question

Does anyone know if this is true? I usually work at least 35 hours a week, but on some days I get one two hour job, and then I'm done for the rest of the day. What does the California Labor law say?

Answer 1

It is two hours.

If you show up for a time that you were already assigned or if they call you to come into work they are required by law to pay a minimum of two hours.

Answer 2

The way I understood it when I was working as asst manager and scheduling at my old job. 4 hours was the shift required for a 10 min break. I think the law says that if an employer provides for a minimum shift, then they must pay the minimum shift no matter how long a person worked. My minimum shift was 3 hours, your employer may not provide a minimum shift. Don't quote me on this though, its been 2 months since I left and 5 months since I did any scheduling.

Answer 3

California labor laws are the most marxist in the country. I wouldn't be surprised if employers who transgress have to perform self-criticism in front of a huge poster of Gray Davis.

Neither you nor the state have the right to force an employer to give you more than four hours. But then, who cares about rights anymore?

each workday an worker is had to record to artwork, yet isn't positioned to artwork or is provided with under a million/2 of his or her nicely-known or scheduled day artwork, the worker could desire to be paid for a million/2 the nicely-known or scheduled day artwork, yet in no experience for under 2 hours nor greater suitable than 4 hours, at his or her conventional fee of pay. as an occasion, if an worker is scheduled to record to artwork for an 8-hour shift and in basic terms works for one hour, the employer is nevertheless obligated to pay the worker 4 hours of pay at his or her conventional fee of pay (one for the hour worked, and 3 as reporting time pay). in basic terms the only-hour actual worked, although, counts as truthfully hours worked. If an worker is had to record to artwork a 2d time in anybody workday and is supplied under 2 hours of artwork on the 2d reporting, he or she could desire to be paid for 2 hours at his or her conventional fee of pay. additionally, employers are actually not obligated pay reporting time pay under here situations: If the worker is not greater healthful to artwork. If the worker has not stated to artwork on time and is fired or sent abode as a disciplinary action. The reporting time pay provisions do not carry on with to workers on paid standby status or whilst an worker has a many times scheduled shift of under 2 hours, mutually with a alleviation cashier who works in basic terms in the time of a one hour era interior the midst of the day.
