Supervisor mistake
HR in CA

I have employees on piece rate. Some how there was a verbal miscommunication to an employee from the supervisor quoting the price of a particular task. Well to make a long story short, the price was so wrong, it exceeds what we the company are paid for this task by our customer. Employee, who has performance and teamwork issues is mad and wants his 'quoted' rate. However, employee has been doing the job long enough to know that what was quoted was 'too good to be true'. At no time did the employee earn less than twice the California minimum wage, so that is not an issue. The employee refuses to accept that the supervisor made a mistake.
Are we obligated to pay the misquoted rate? Opinions please!
