Payment
-
The state of California considers certain employees executive, administrative and professional employees. One of the stipulations for each of these categories is a monthly salary that's at least double the minimum wage. Employers must pay these employees at least once a month, and no later than the 26th of that month.
Overtime
-
In general, salaried employees are entitled to being paid an overtime wage for any instance of the employee working more than eight hours in a single workday or 48 hours in a single work week. However, some salaried employees may be exempted. Executive, administrative and professional employees, as well as some others, are not entitled to such.
-
Wage Statement
-
Employers must issue salaried employees some type of written receipt every time they are paid. The state of California calls this an itemized wage statement. A statement given to a salaried worker does not need to have all the information required for an hourly worker. The number of hours worked need not be stated, and if neither does overtime pay if the salaried employee is exempt.
