Court listened to both arguments. Mercedes stated that they paid minimum payment to their employees but they failed to pay for each and every hour they spent waiting for the repair work.

Industrial Welfare Commission wage order No. 4-2001, states that employees must be paid at least minimum payment for each and hour they worked and also the time in which the employee is in control of an employer, and includes all the time the employee is suffered or permitted to work.
Anyone who is a victim of wage and hour violations is entitled for compensation.
