I agree with you generally but there’s also the question of whether an expense is reasonable. Should you be expected to put a desk in your bedroom and have that be sufficient? I live in New York and have an extra bedroom for my office, should my employer be forced to pay for that instead?

Yeah, it's one of those laws that superficially makes sense but tends to not work in the real world. A California specialty.

Probably better to put an upper salary bound on it. Stops the abuse of minimum wage workers while avoiding most of the silliness.
