This Law Firm Publication by Fisher & Phillips LLP discusses Gonzalez v. Downtown LA Motors, LP, an unpublished decision in which the California Court of Appeal for the Second District held that technicians at a car dealership were entitled to separate hourly compensation for waiting time. The technicians were paid on a piece-rate basis and their employer averaged their piece-rate wages across the time spent waiting for repair work or performing non-repair tasks. The court held that technicians had to be paid the minimum wage for each and every hour of waiting time under subdivision 4(B) of California Wage Order 4-2001.
