Welfare and Institutions Code section 1832

If the Youth Authority work furlough administrator so directs that the ward be permitted to continue in his regular employment, the administrator shall arrange for a continuation of such employment so far as possible without interruption. If the ward does not have regular employment, and the administrator has authorized the ward to secure employment for himself, the ward may do so, and the administrator may assist him in doing so. Any employment so secured must be suitable for the ward. Such employment must be at a wage at least as high as the prevailing wage for similar work in the area where the work is performed and in accordance with the prevailing working conditions in such area. In no event may any such employment be permitted where there is a labor dispute in the establishment in which the ward is, or is to be, employed.
