FAQ
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.
California wage and hour laws affect salaried and non-salaried workers. Non-exempt salaried employees are protected by California minimum wage laws .
Effective July 1, 2024, the salary threshold will increase to the equivalent of an annual salary of $43,888 and increase to $58,656 on Jan. 1, 2025. The July 1 increase updates the present annual salary threshold of $35,568 based on the methodology used by the prior administration in the 2019 overtime rule update.
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.
In California, every minute an employee works must be compensated ing to state labor regulations. In California, salaried employees are not required by law to clock in and out, especially if they are exempt from overtime regulations.
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.
What Are the Key Changes? Changes are meant to reflect inflation and increased living costs. 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).
