As long as someone is at home or work and not in areas that may be deemed public, then one can carry a loaded firearm. See Semi Public Places Restrictions for more on what is or is not a public place.
California Appelate Courts returned to the question of whether one could carry concealed in a place of business in People v. Barela (1991) 234 Cal.App.3d Supp. 15. The facts in that case were unusual as an individual held himself out as a police officer and provided security in return for discounts on food. The person who supposedly granted him permission to carry concealed and loaded did not have the authority to grant him that. Further the court ruled that since he could not exclude individuals he did not have a possessory interest in the location and therefor it wasn't his place of business. However, the court affirms the common understanding of the Legislature's overturning of People v. Melton.
In People v. Melton (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 580 [253 Cal.Rptr.

without a permit or license.
As such most employees and at most places of business can carry a concealed loaded firearm as long as they have the actual permission of someone entitled to grant that permission to exclude others and control activities. However, there are potential limitations as to where one can carry at a place of business as outlined below. Note that "place of business" probably includes a taxi cab for a taxi driver; see People v. Marotta (1981) 128 Cal.App.3d Supp. 1 but see People v. Wooten (1985) 168 Cal.App.3d 168, "Construing Penal Code section 12026 to treat defendant's pickup truck as a 'place of business' simply because he worked as a part-time bounty hunter would not serve any of these ends."
People who are not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms can carry loaded concealed firearms in homes they own or rent and on any other private property that they "lawfully possess." Lawful possession is generally regarded to include carrying on private property where you have the resident or owner's permission to so carry.
Carrying a loaded concealed firearm is prohibited in areas open to the public, even if they are on private property. Privately owned does not necessarily mean the property is not public.
An important restriction on the carrying of concealed loaded firearms both at home and at work is People v. Overturf (1976) 64 Cal.App.3d Supp. 1 and it's progeny.
But in Overturf, the court held that the common areas of an apartment complex was a public place and thus Mr. Overturf couldn't carry a loaded firearm even though Mr. Overturf was the landlord of the apartment complex.

equate with "carrying" such a weapon.
Note that the legislative change to PC § 12026 in the interim casts some doubt on Overturf.
Similar consideration has applied to 'public place' for firearms possession and use, including concealed and open carry.
In People v. Yarbrough (2008) 169 Cal App 4th 303 the California Appellate Court held that PC § 12025 prohibited carrying a loaded concealed firearm on publicly accessible private property where there was no indicia of permission from the property owner to carry.
In People v. Strider (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 1393 the California Appellate Court ruled that a front yard surrounded by a fence and gate was not a public place for the purposes of PC § 12031.

As such, the current jurisprudence in California is that if the public can come unmolested or unchallenged into an area, you can not conceal or openly carry a loaded firearm in that area unless you have a specific and immediate need to defend life or property.
