Legal Question in Employment Law in California
My husband currently works at a privately owned golf course. He has always been paid until now. The owner is allowing people to work and in return they are able to play golf in leiu of payment. Is this illegal? My husband is given the choice to quit or accept the free golf as payment. Is this legal?

No. Not for payment for work already done. They are, however, free to fire him for any reason and then offer him a volunteer postition with free golf as a perq.
