[quote=The-Shoveler][quote=Coronita]Basically, the way the law works is that…
If you want to classify a software engineer as “exempt” (non hourly worker), you must pay him/her/they $104.2k or higher, otherwise they must be classified as an hourly worker eligible for overtime pay.[/quote]
Wow! thanks for the break down on how that works.[/quote]
Yes, that’s one of many reasons why software engineers do better specifically in CA than other techies. These minimum wage laws for exempt software professionals only apply to software professionals and dont really apply to other engineers.
