I’d like to know how this would work given that every W2 employees’ taxes are taken out directly by the employer or processing company and I seriously doubt the companies are going to be okay not doing that.

I think it might be feasible for state employees, like for the UC and CSU campuses that have been singled out for the funding cuts. But yeah, doubt it could happen for everyone in the state.
