You can work for anything you like. You are not limited to only
earning $7.50hr.

For instance, I job in at UCLA doing live theater. The tech contract
(shared with nurses, TAs and assorted others) gives up daily overtime,
which is also called for under CA wage laws.

Employers are only obligated to pay you what you contracted for. If
you agree to work for $20 a day, thats all you have to be paid.

There is a difference between contracting and being an employee.
Employees get minimum wage, worker's compensation insurance, and other
mandated benefits, like meal breaks. Contractors usually get nothing.
Though most companies will claim they get the choice or hiring or
contracting you, it's really up to the IRS. When in doubt, file an
SS-8 form. The IRS will be happy to make the true determination.

I'll do it for $20/day but I don't think they'll like my expenses bill or
the total of about 4 days travel...

I read this again and that has to be a typo. 20 dollars a day! I have
a feeling it's supposed to read 200 a day and they haven't noticed it
yet. But then again crazier things have happen
