In California, most employees are paid hourly and entitled to certain rights like overtime pay and the right to receive meal and rest breaks. However, some employees are exempt from these protections and paid by salary instead of hourly. In 2024, the minimum salary for full time exempt employees in California is $68,640 per year. That means that if employees are paid less than $68,640 they have been misclassified as exempt and may be entitled to significant compensation for overtime pay, meal and rest break violations, among other things.
