Legal Question in Employment Law in California

No, the amount of rent that can be credited toward the payment of a residential manager is limited by law. Please give me a call (213-381-6557) or send me an email ([email protected]) if you or your wife would like to discuss the matter further.

All the best,

The maximum that can be deducted toward rent is $451.98 a month, or $668.46 a month if both members of a couple are employed to jointly manage the property. That means that a maximum of just under 56.5 hours of work may be charged to rent. If that is all your wife works at managing the complex, then yes, the employer can deduct it all. If she works more than that, she must be paid at least minimum wage for all time after 56.4 hours.
