Employees paid on a commission basis must now be separately compensated for legally required rest periods. California employers should pay close attention to this new rule coming from the Court of Appeal in Vaquero v. Stoneledge Furniture LLC, No. B269657, 2017 WL 770635, (Cal. Ct. App. Feb. 28, 2017). Employers who pay commissions should examine their agreements and make any alterations necessary to bring their agreements in line with the Court’s holding.
