Mandatory show up for meeting on Day off? CA

[tech90210]

Is it legal for an employer (CA)to set a meeting and required all emloyee to show up on their day off? and a hand written will be issue if not show up. Currently, I'm an employee getting pay by piece work. The fact is I can't drop my plan from going out of town for the meeting which I planed a week before the noticed of meeting. Please advise!

Mandatory Meeting

Unless your trip out of town is due to a protected status, such as having to attend a religious conference, your employer can require attendance. In most cases, they need to pay you for that time, unless you are in an exempt status.
