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.
Under the California Labor Code, an exempt employee must be paid an annual salary equal to at least twice the amount that would be earned by a minimum-wage hourly employee working a 40-hour workweek. At the current minimum wage at $10 per hour, the minimum salary for an exempt employee is $41,600 annually. Under SB3, the minimum exempt salary will increase incrementally, first to $43,680 and eventually to $62,400, once the minimum wage reaches $15 per hour in 2022. Meanwhile, the minimum salary threshold for exempt employees under federal law has been increased to $47,476, effective December 1, 2016.
