Companies offering services (massages and facials) often work on a piece rate only bases in California. Typically you do not have to be in the office unless a service is to be rendered and you are free to come and go in between wait times as you please. As someone who works in the industry, i heard a new law happened a few years ago that may of changed this, forcing employers to pay your average hourly for your lunch breaks, i think it was in regards to commission only auto shops, but it wasnt labeled as specific to an industry. California Bill 1513 I have heard spas say that as long as your piece rate is at a certain amount guaranteed (say all services I provide render me more than 15$ an hour) that they do not need to pay for rest periods. Is this true?
