What must I pay an employee for attending a monthly scheduled staff meeting held on a day that is not the employee’s regularly scheduled workday?

You must pay an employee for the actual length of the scheduled meeting. If the meeting ends early, then you may be required to comply with California’s “reporting time pay” requirements under California wage orders, which require payment of at least half the employee’s usual scheduled hours, but no less than two hours.

However, a California appellate court in Aleman v. AirTouch Cellular (2012) held that reporting time pay is not required for pre-scheduled meetings if the employee works at least half of the scheduled meeting time.

For example, if a two-hour meeting is scheduled in advance and lasts more than one hour, reporting time pay is not owed.

In that case, the employer may pay employees for the actual time worked, as long as it exceeds half of the scheduled meeting time.
