Is an accounting firm subject to the same IWC Wage orders as a plant that makes cars or the retail clearks union employees?
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer.No, wage order number one applies to the manufacturing industry, so that would apply to a plant that makes cars.Wage order number two applies to retail clerks, since they are considered part of the personal services industry.Wage order number four applies to an accounting firm, however, salaried accountants are exempt from meal breaks, rest breaks, and overtime, since they are professional exempt employees.You can read more about the wage orders here:http://www.dir.ca.gov/iwc/wageorderindustries.htm
