Which wage order applies to Miscellaneous Employees and provides regular mail service, radio and/or telephone access, and housing visitor access as described?

• A. Wage Order 17
• B. Sheepherders
• C. Exempt Employees
• D. Ski Establishment

Answer: (A)

California wage orders assign wages and working conditions to workers based on specific occupations or industries, with a distinct order for Miscellaneous Employees. When a description includes regular mail service, radio and/or telephone access, and housing visitor access, it fits the provisions tied to the Miscellaneous Employees category, which covers a broad, less-structured group and their typical access rights. The other options refer to more narrowly defined groups or to exemptions rather than a general miscellaneous category: sheepherders are governed by another industry-specific order, exempt employees aren’t defined by a wage order in the same way, and ski establishments have their own separate order. So the applicable wage order is the one designated for Miscellaneous Employees.
