The proposed changes to the overtime rule increased the salary threshold for employees who are exemptâand therefore not eligible for overtimeâfrom $23,660 to $50,440. In the final rule, the level dropped to $47,476.
California law requires that in order to be classified as exempt, an employee must earn a monthly salary which is twice the state minimum for a full time employee (40 hours per week). Currently the minimum salary for a full time, exempt employee is $33,280 per year. This will increase on July 1, 2014 to a minimum exempt salary of $37,440 per year. By 2016, employees will need to earn at least $41,600 per year to meet the minimum salary test for exempt status. State minimum wage law will also impact the pay of commissioned inside sales employees.
