California Software Employees Exemption Rates Increase

CA increases exemption amount for software employees


California has adjusted the minimum compensation rates that computer software employees must be paid to be exempt from state overtime pay requirements.

This is an increase from $43.58 per hour or $90,790.07 annually.

However, additional work-specific requirements must be satisfied in order for an employee to be considered exempt.
