Legal Question in Employment Law in California

can my boss punish me at work? My boss has started a new system this year of spliting the employees into two teams and rewarding the winning team and punishing the losing team each month. ponishments include loss of earned meals, wearing a hat and bow tie at work. cleaning the patio area (with a power washer) and reduction in shifts.
