Supreme Court Won’t Review Construction Wage Order Ruling

In 2001, the California
Industrial Welfare Commission adopted Wage Order 16, regulating for the first
time the construction, drilling, logging, and mining industries and setting out
detailed alternative workweek requirements for these industries. In a recent
lawsuit, construction employer Brinderson Constructors, Inc., headquartered in Costa Mesa, attacked Wage
Order 16—and its alternative workweek provisions—as being invalid. A California appeals
court, however, ruled that the wage order was valid—and now, the California Supreme
Court has refused to review the appellate decision, so it remains good law.
