A laborer reports to the jobsite as scheduled but is sent home after only one hour because it started raining. Under California 'reporting-time pay' rules, what is the employer generally required to pay?

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.
