Department of Industrial Relations amends and republishes the minimum wage and meals and lodging credits in the Industrial  Welfare 
Commission’s Orders as a  result  of legislation  enacted (SB  3,  Ch.  4,  Stats  of  2016,  amending  section  1182.12  of   the California 
Labor Code),  and  pursuant to  section  1182.13  of  the  California  Labor  Code.  The amendments and republishing  make no other

1. APPLICABILITY OF  ORDER 	
This  order  shall  apply  to  all  persons  employed  in  the  canning,  freezing,  and  preserving  industry  whether  paid  on  a  time,  piece rate, 
commission, or other basis, except  that:  
(A) 	Provisions of Sections 3 through 12 of this order shall not apply to persons employed in administrative, executive,  or professional 
capacities. The following requirements shall apply in determining whether an employee’s  duties meet the test to qualify for  an exemption 
from those sections:  
(1) 	Executive Exemption. A person employed in an executive  capacity means any employee:  
(a) 	Whose duties and responsibilities  involve the management of the enterprise in which he/she is employed or of  a 
customarily recognized department or subdivision thereof;  and  	
(b) 	Who customarily and regularly directs the work of two or more other employees therein;  and  	
(c) 	Who has the authority to hire or fire other employees or whose suggestions and recommendations as to the hiring  or 
firing  and  as  to  the  advancement  and  promotion  or  any  other  change  of  status  of  other  employees  will  be given  particular  weight;  and 	
(d)  	Who customarily and regularly exercises discretion and independent judgment;  and 	
(e)  	Who is primarily engaged in duties which meet the test of the exemption. The activities constituting  exempt work and 
non-exempt work shall be construed in the same manner as such items are construed in the following regulations under the Fair  Labor 
Standards   Act effective  as  of  the  date  of  this  order:  29  C.F.R.  Sections  541.102,  541.104 -111, and  541.115-116.  Exempt  work  shall 
include,  for  example,  all  work  that  is  directly  and  closely  related  to  exempt  work  and  work  which  is  properly  viewed  as  a  means  for  
carrying  out exempt  functions.  The  work  actually  performed  by  the  employee  during  the course  of the  workweek  must,  first  and 
foremost, be examined and the amount of time the employee spends on such work, together with the  employer’s realistic expectations 
and the realistic requirements of the  job, shall be considered in determining whether the employee satisfies this  requirement.  	
(f) 	Such  an employee  must  also  earn  a  monthly  salary  equivalent  to  no  less  than  two  (2)  times  the  state  minimum  wage 
for  full-time employment. Full -time employment is defined in Labor Code Section 515(c) as 40 hours per  week.  	
(2) 	Administrative Exemption. A person employed in an administrative capacity means any  employee:  
(a) 	Whose duties and responsibilities  involve either:  
(i) The performance of office or non- manual work directly related to management policies or general  business 
operations of his/her employer or his/her employer’s  customers; or  
(ii)  	The  performance  of  functions  in  the  administration  of  a  school  system,  or  educational  establishment  or  institution,  or 
of  a  department  or  subdivision  thereof,  in  work  directly  related  to  the  academic  instruction  or  training  carried on  therein;  and  	
(b) 	Who customarily and regularly exercises discretion and independent judgment;  and 	
(c)  	Who  regularly  and  directly  assists  a  proprietor,  or  an  employee  employed in   a  bona  fide executive  or  administrative 
capacity (as such terms are defined for  purposes of this section); or  	
(d)  	Who performs under only general supervision work along specialized or technical lines requiring special  training, 
experience, or knowledge;  or  	
(e)  	Who  executes  under only general supervision special assignments and tasks;  and 	
(f)  Who  is  primarily  engaged  in  duties  that  meet  the  test  of  the  exemption.  The  activities  constituting  exempt work and  non - 
exempt  work  shall  be construed  in  the  same  manner  as  such  terms   are construed  in the  following  regulations  under  the  Fair  Labor 
Standards Act effective as of the date of this order: 29  C.F.R. Sections 541.201- 205, 541.207-208, 541.210, and 541.215. Exempt  work 
shall include, for  example, all work that is directly and closely related to  exempt work and work which is properly viewed  as a means for  
carrying  out exempt  functions.  The  work  actually  performed  by  the  employee  during  the course  of  the  workweek  must,  first  and 
foremost, be examined and the amount of time the employee spends on such work, together with the  employer’s realistic expectations 
and the realistic requirements of the  job, shall be considered in determining whether the employee satisfies this  requirement.  
(g) 	Such  employee  must also  earn  a monthly  salary  equivalent  to  no  less  than  two (2)  times  the  state  minimum  wage	 	
for full -time employment. Full -time employment is defined in Labor Code Section 515(c) as 40 hours per  week.

of age  who are  not  required  by  law  to  attend  school  and are  not  otherwise  prohibited  by law  from  engaging  in the  subject  work.

(a)  One and one- half (1	1/2) times the employee’s regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of eight (8)  hours

—	4

of  work	
 in a workweek;  and  	
(b) 	Double  the employee’s  regular  rate  of pay  for  all  hours  worked  in excess  of  12  hours  in  any  workday  and  for  all	 	
hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours on the seventh (7	th) consecutive  day of work in a  workweek. 	
(3) 	The  overtime  rate of compensation  required to be  paid  to a nonexempt  full -time  salaried  employee  shall be  computed	 	
by using the  employee’s  regular hourly salary as one- fortieth (1/40) of the employee’s weekly salary.  	
(B) 	Alternative  Workweek 
(1) 	No  employer  shall  be  deemed  to have  violated  the daily  overtime  provisions  by  instituting,  pursuant  to  the  election	 	
procedures set forth in this wage  order, a regularly scheduled alternative workweek schedule of not more than ten (10) hours  per	 	
day  within  a 40  hour  workweek  without  the  payment  of  an  overtime  rate of compensation.  All  work  performed  in any  workday	 	
beyond the  schedule established by 
the agreement up to 12 hours a day  or beyond 40 hours per week shall be paid at one  and	 	
one-half (1	1/2)  
times  the  employee’s  regular  rate  of pay.  All  work  performed  in excess  of 12  hours  per  day  and  any work  in  excess  of	 	
eight (8) hours on those days worked beyond the regularly scheduled number of workdays established by  the alternative	 workweek  
agreement  shall  be  paid  at double  the employee’s  regular  rate  of pay.  Any  alternative  workweek agreement  adopted
 pursuant 
to this section shall provide for not less than four (4) hours of work in any shift. Nothing in this section shall prohibit  an
 employer, 
at  the  request of  the  employee,  to  substitute  one day of  work  for  another  day  of  the  same  length  in the  shift  provided  by	
 the 
alternative workweek agreement on an occasional basis to meet the personal needs of the employee without the payment  of	
 	
overtime. No hours paid at  either one and one-
half (1	1/2) or double the regular rate of pay shall be included in determining  when	 	
40 hours have been worked 
for the purpose of computing overtime  compensation. 	
(2) 	Any agreement adopted pursuant to this section shall provide not less than two consecutive  days off within a  work-
w eek  If an employer whose employees have  adopted an alternative workweek agreement permitted by  this order requires  an  
employee  to work  fewer  hours  than  those  that are  regularly  scheduled  by the  agreement,  the  employer  shall  pay  the  employee	
 	
overtime  compensation  at  a  rate  of one  and  one- half ( 1	1/2)  times  the  employee’s  regular  rate  of pay  for  all  hours  worked  in  excess  of	 	
eight  (8)  hours,  and  double  the employee’s  regular  rate  of pay  for  all  hours  worked  in excess  of  12  hours  for  the  day the  employee	 	
is required to work the reduced  hours. 	
(3) 	An  employer  shall  not  reduce  an  employee’s  regular  rate  of hourly  pay  as  a  result  of  the  adoption,  repeal  or  nullification	 	
of an alternative workweek  schedule.  	
(4) 	An  employer  shall  explore  any available  reasonable  alternative means of  accommodating  the religious  belief  or	 	
observance  of an  affected  employee  that conflicts  with  an  adopted  alternative  workweek schedule,  in  the  manner  provided  by	 	
subdivision (j) of Section 12940 of the  Government Code. 	
(5) 	An  employer  shall  make  a reasonable  effort to  find  a work  schedule  not to  exceed  eight (8)  hours  in  a  workday,  in  order	 	
to  accommodate  any affected  employee  who was  eligible  to  vote  in an  election  authorized  by this  section  and who is  unable  to work	 	
the alternative workweek schedule established as the result of that  election. 	
(6) 	An  employer  shall  be  permitted,  but  not  required,  to  provide  a work  schedule  not to  exceed  eight (8)  hours  in  a	 	
workday  to  accommodate  any employee  who is  hired  after the  date  of the  election  and who is  unable  to work  the  alternative	 	
workweek schedule established  by the election.  	
(7) 	Arrangements adopted in a secret ballot election held pursuant to this order prior to 1998, or under the rules in  effect	 	
prior to  1998,  and  before  the performance  of the  work,  shall  remain  valid after  July  1, 2000  provided  that the  results  of  the  election	 	
are reported  by the  employer  to  the  Office  of Policy,  Research  and Legislation  by January  1,  2001,  in  accordance  with the	 	
requirements  of  subsection  (C) below  (Election  Procedures).  If  an  employee  was voluntarily  working  an alternative  workweek	 	
schedule of not  more  than  ten (10) hours  a  day  as  of  July  1, 1999,  that  alternative  workweek schedule  was based  on an	 	
individual  agreement  made  after January  1,  1998  between  the employee  and employer,  and the employee  submitted, and  the	 	
employer  approved,  a  writ -  ten  request  on  or before  May 30,  2000  to continue  the agreement,  the  employee  may continue  to	 	
work that  alternative  workweek schedule  without  payment  of  an  overtime  rate of compensation  for the  hours  provided  in the	 	
agreement. The employee may revoke  his/her voluntary authorization to continue such a schedule with 30 days written notice  to	 	
the employer. New arrangements can only be entered into pursuant to the provisions of this  section.  	
(C) 	Election  Procedures  
Election procedures for the adoption and  repeal of alternative workweek schedules require the  following: 
(1) 	Each  proposal  for  an  alternative  workweek schedule  shall be in the  form  of  a  written  agreement  proposed  by the	 	
employer.  The proposed agreement must designate a regularly scheduled  alternative workweek in which the specified number of	 	
work days  and work hours are regularly recurring. The actual  days worked within that alternative workweek schedule need not  be	 	
specified.  The  employer  may  propose  a single  work  schedule  that would  become  the standard  schedule  for workers  in  the  work  unit,	 	
or a menu of work schedule options, from which each employee in the unit would be entitled to choose. If the employer  proposes	 	
a menu of work schedule options, the employee  may, with the approval of the  employer, move from one menu option to  another. 	
(2) 	In order to be valid, the proposed alternative workweek schedule must be adopted in a secret ballot election,  before	 	
the performance of work, by at least a two- thirds (2/3) vote of the affected employees in the work unit. The election shall be  held

made  a disclosure  in  writing  to the  affected  employees,  including  the effects  of  the  proposed  arrangement  on  the  employees’  wages,	 	
hours, and benefits. Such a disclosure shall include meeting(s), duly noticed, held at least 14  days prior to voting, for the  specific

purpose of discussing  the  effects  of  the  alternative  workweek schedule.  An  employer  shall  provide  that disclosure  in  a  non- English  
language, as well as in English, if at least five (5) percent of the affected employees primarily speak that non- English language.	
 	
The employer  shall  mail  the  written  disclosure  to  employees  who  do  not  attend  the  meeting.  Failure  to comply  with  this  paragraph	 	
shall make the election null and  void.

employees. The employer shall bear the costs of conducting any election held pursuant to this section. Upon a complaint  by an	 	
affected  employee,  and  after an  investigation  by the  labor  commissioner,  the  labor  commissioner  may  require  the employer  to	 	
select a neutral third party to conduct the  election. 	
(5) 	Any  type  of alternative  workweek schedule  that is  authorized  by the  Labor  Code  may be  repealed  by the  affected	 	
employees.  Upon  a petition  of one- third  (1/3) of  the  affected  employees,  a  new  secret  ballot  election  shall be  held  and  a  two -thirds	 	
(2/3)  vote  of the  affected  employees  shall  be  required  to reverse  the  alternative  workweek schedule.  The  election  to  repeal  the	 	
alternative  workweek schedule  shall be  held  not more  than  30 days  after  the  petition  is submitted  to the  employer,  except  that  the	 	
election shall be held not less than 12 months after the date that the same group of employees voted in an election held to  adopt	 	
or repeal  an  alternative  workweek  schedule.  The  election  shall  take place  during  regular working  hours at  the  employees’  work	 	
site. If the alternative workweek schedule is  revoked, the employer shall comply within 60 days. Upon proper showing of  undue	 	
hardship, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement  may grant an extension of time for  compliance.  	
(6) 	Only secret ballots may be cast by affected employees in the work unit at any election held pursuant to this  section.	 	
The results of any election conducted pursuant to this section shall be reported  by the employer to the Office of Policy,  Research	 	
and  Legislation  within 30 days  after  the  results  are  final,  and  the report  of  election  results shall  be a public  document.  The	 	
report shall include the final  tally of the vote, the size of the unit, and the nature of the business of the  employer. 	
(7) 	Employees  affected  by a  change  in the  work  hours  resulting  from the  adoption  of an  alternative  workweek schedule  may	 	
not be required to work those new work hours for at least 30  days after the announcement of the final results of the  election. 	
(8) 	Employers  shall  not  intimidate  or coerce  employees  to  vote  either  in  support  of  or  in  opposition  to a proposed	 	
alternative workweek. No employees shall be discharged or discriminated against for expressing opinions concerning  the	 	
alternative workweek election or for opposing or supporting its adoption or repeal. However, nothing in this section shall prohibit	 	
an employer from expressing his/her position concerning that alternative workweek to the affected employees. A violation of  this	 	
paragraph shall be subject to Labor Code Section 98  et seq.

prevent an accumulation of  days of rest when the nature of the employment reasonably requires the employee to work  seven (7)	 	
or more consecutive days; provided, however,  that in each calendar month, the employee shall receive the equivalent of one  (1)	 	
day ’s rest in seven (7).

 for those 
employees of not less than 30 percent more than the state minimum  wage.

employer  have  entered  into a valid  collective  bargaining  agreement pertaining  to  the  hours  of  work  of  the  employees,  the	 	
requirement  regarding  the equivalent  of  one  (1) day’s  rest  in  seven  (7)  (see  subsection  (H) above)  shall  apply,  unless  the	 	
agreement expressly provides  otherwise.  	
(L) 	If a n employer  approves  a  written  request  of  an  employee  to  make  up  work  time  that is  or would  be lost  as  a  result  of  a	 	
personal  obligation  of the  employee,  the  hours  of  that  makeup  work time,  if  performed  in the  same  workweek  in  which  the  work  time

—	6 	
 
was lost, may not be counted toward computing the total number of hours worked in a day for purposes of the overtime  
requirements,  except  for  hours  in  excess  of 11  hours  of  work  in  one  (1) day  or  40  hours  of  work  in  one  (1) workweek.  If  an  employee

succession  of  weeks, the employee may  request to make up work time for up to four (4) weeks in advance; provided, however,

request  for  each
 occasion  that  the  employee  makes a  request  to  make  up work  time  pursuant  to  this  subsection.  While  an  employer  
may  inform  an	
 employee  of this  makeup  time option,  the  employer  is  prohibited  from encouraging  or otherwise  soliciting an  employee
