Comply or not to Comply with California Law

California passed AB 1513 on January 1, 2016 which allows compensation for rest breaks and on duty not driving duties *LINK ON BOTTOM*. On-duty not driving must be paid at or above the minimum wage ($10.50) For example 3hrs on-duty x $10.50 min wage = $31.50. I bought this up after getting a lvl 3 inspection at Banning last week. Short story, DOT officer question about my logbook. He gave me a huge warning and told me to start complying with CA breaks or received a log violation (See photo for rest breaks info *NO LONGER WITH Schneider*). I argued that the company is following federal DOT and its not California based. He told me if your home terminal is in CA AND/OR you have a CA license, you must comply. I started complying with fear but the company is not paying me for breaks and on-duty. I talked to my boss about it and told me to disregard it. I don't know what to do? CA drivers or license holders, should I comply and request compensation or continue to follow federal DOT. Non CA drivers feel free to weigh in.

Its a strict work regulations placed by California. As DCA said 1 lunch break and 2 rest breaks For example, Start at 7:00am, stop at 9:00am to take a 10 min break. Work again at 9:10am and stop at 11:00am for a 30min lunch break. Work at 11:30am stop at 1:00pm for 10min break. Start again 1:10pm and stop at 4:00pm for another 30min break. If your working less than 12 hours, you can waive your 2nd lunch break.
