California Court of Appeal

In a class action complaint alleging defendant's commission pay plan did not comply with California law, the trial court's ruling granting summary judgment in favor of the employer is reversed where: 1) employees paid on commission are entitled to separate compensation for rest periods mandated by state law; and 2) employers who keep track of hours worked, including rest periods, violate this requirement by paying employees a guaranteed minimum hourly rate as an advance on commissions earned in later pay periods.
