Yes, a employer can hire you to work two hours a day.

If you are scheduled to work and they tell you that there is no work and send you home, but you have not worked two hours . . . they still have to pay you for a minimum of two hours of work or half of your scheduled work shift. Some people are only scheduled an arrival time and not a specific leave time. If you volunteer to go home, then this does not apply.

Bear in mind, I am in California. I am not certain if this law only applies to my state . . .

Sorry for the long response, but at least you will understand why it is okay to work only two hours.

If you work 6 hours in a day your employer is required to give you a 30 minute break for lunch, if you work 4 hours, then they are required to give you a 15 minute break-- both of these can be paid or unpaid, that is up to your employer
