a.A full 8 hours
b.Only the one hour actually worked
c.At least half the scheduled day's work, but no fewer than 2 and no more than 4 hours at the regular rate

Explicación
Under the IWC Wage Orders' reporting-time pay rule, when an employee reports for a scheduled shift but is given less than half the usual or scheduled day's work, the employer must pay for half the scheduled hours, with a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours at the regular rate. There are limited exceptions (for example, certain acts of nature or utility failures), but the general rule requires reporting-time pay when the employee shows up as scheduled.
