no.

California's Labor Code requires you be reimbursed for all
business expenses. The IRS rate is an "estimate" that is
accepted as a proper rate in the absence of other evidence
(such as your receipts, expense logs, etc.).

however, if your expenses are more (or less) than the IRS
rate, your employer owes the greater (or lesser) amount under
state law.

good luck.
