Practice question
An enterprise has branches in two regions governed by different valid wage orders. Each order expressly covers the relevant establishments in its own region. The enterprise applies its headquarters region’s order to both solely because payroll is centralized there. What is the error?
- A headquarters automatically makes every branch geographically identical
- Central payroll location does not replace the actual orders’ territorial coverage
- Regional wage orders never apply to branches
- Only the employees’ bank accounts determine coverage
- The employer may choose the cheapest order regardless of scope
