Minimum Wage Hike Coming for Exempt Employees

Even though the new administration has put a hold on the federal increase in minimum salary levels for exempt employees, California employers will still be required to boost the salaries of exempt employees on January 1, 2018. 

Under California law an employee must earn a monthly salary equivalent to no less than two times the state minimum wage for fulltime employment (employment in which an employee is employed for 40 hours per week). Different rates apply, depending on whether an employer has 26 or more, or 25 or fewer, employees.
