FAQ
An employee must earn no less than two times the state's minimum wage for full-time work to meet this initial requirement of the exemption test. As of January 1, 2025, employees in California must earn an annual salary of no less than $68,640 to meet this threshold requirement.
There is no limit as to how many hours an exempt salaried employee can work in any given day or week. These employees earn a consistent salary, regardless of the number of hours worked.
About the Law: If an employee does work for more than six days in a row, the first eight hours worked on the seventh day must be compensated at 1.5x the normal hourly wage. Any time worked beyond the first eight hours must be compensated at 2x the normal hourly wage.

Overtime is based on 40 hours a week, not 8 hours a day. If you don't work 41+ hours, you don't get overtime.
One of the most common ways that employers avoid paying overtime wages is by telling salaried workers that they are simply not eligible for overtime compensation. Employees may not be aware of laws put in place by FLSA, and many people think that salaried workers do not have the right to overtime wages.
