Private Business

Private businesses are subject to 17 IWC orders regulating wages, hours and working conditions (such as meal periods, overtime, alternative workweeks, etc.) each with differing nuances, exceptions and exemptions that pertain to that particular business.

When determining which IWC order applies, follow a process of elimination. The orders are classified as either an industry order or an occupational order, and if an industry order exists for your type of business, it takes precedence over the particular occupation an employee is performing.

One must first review the descriptions of covered businesses in each order that contains the word "industry or industries" in the title. There are 12 orders identified as industries orders (1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,and 13) and five as occupational orders (4,14, 15, 16, and 17). Occupational orders apply only when a business is not covered by an industry order.

Mixed Business

Mixed businesses require an assessment of the main purpose of the business and applying the order which corresponds to that purpose. There may be instances where a multipurpose business has two or more corporate entities operated for different purposes and the management is separately organized at all levels. In this case, two separate IWC orders may be appropriate.

The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement offers the following examples of coverage situations:

• IWC Order 1 (Manufacturing Industry) applies to an office assistant employed by a company that builds automobiles because the company is covered by an industry order.
• IWC Order 4 (an Occupational Order) applies to an office assistant employed in a law firm     because a law firm is not covered by an industry order.
• A business's main purpose is operating a warehouse and incidental thereto the business employs a separate sales staff to sell goods. IWC Order 9 covers this operation even though sales are covered under IWC Order 7 because the main purpose of the business is to operate a warehouse.
• A retail department store (IWC Order 7) owns a restaurant (IWC Order 5) that is located on the department store premises, but is operated as a separate corporate entity. These businesses are covered by different industry orders because they are operated for different business purposes, and the management is separately organized at all levels.
