Contrary to Oracle's assertions, the California Labor Code is clearly intended to apply to work done in California by nonresidents. The California Supreme Court has concluded that California's employment laws govern all work performed within the state, regardless of the residence or domicile of the worker.
In California, a full-time workweek is typically between 32 and 40 hours, although the Affordable Care Act (ACA) considers an employee at full-time status if they work 30 hours or more. There is no limit as to how many hours an exempt salaried employee can work in any given day or week.
As a salaried exempt employee, you must make at least double the yearly amount that a minimum wage hourly worker would make working a 40-hour work week each week. Beginning in 2023, California established that the minimum wage in the state is $15.50 an hour; however, depending on where you're located, it might be more.
Full-Day Absences for Personal Reasons: If an exempt employee misses one or more full days for personal reasons, other than sickness or accident, you can make a deduction. Remember, it's full days we're talking about – not partial days.
Most salaried employees don't often exceed 45-50 hours of work in a given week. If a job regularly requires more than 50 hours of weekly work, then the role is probably poorly designed. The roles, duties and responsibilities may be completed more effectively if distributed across multiple jobs.

As a result, thresholds tend to move upward rather than downward: Minimum Salary Threshold: The new rule raises the standard salary level from $35,568 per year ($684 per week) to $58,656 annually ($1,128 per week).
Typically, if an individual is working in California, they are subject to California labor laws, irrespective of where they live, including both part-time and full-time, in-state and out-of-state workers.
