雇佣要求第 896 / 1605 题
A contractor pays a worker below the applicable California minimum wage but claims the worker 'agreed' to the lower rate in writing. Is this agreement enforceable?
a.No, but only if the worker later complains to the employer first
b.Yes, because employees may waive minimum wage by written contract
c.No, because minimum wage cannot be waived by agreement
d.Yes, if the worker is paid in cash
解析
Under Labor Code §1197, the minimum wage set by the Industrial Welfare Commission is the minimum an employer may lawfully pay, and paying less is illegal. An employee cannot waive the right to minimum wage by agreement; Labor Code §1194 makes such agreements void and lets the worker recover the unpaid balance regardless of any 'agreement.' Method of payment (cash or check) is irrelevant to the violation.
