Please be aware that on 1/1/20 the labor laws are updating the rules regarding salary employees.
Please note that not all employees can be salary. A salary employee is defined by a "Salary Basis test" and a "Salary level test"
Basis test - the employee must be full time and primarily involve executive, administrative, and professional duties and/or outside sales
Level test - as of 1/1/20, the minimum wage acceptable for a salary employee is increasing to $684 weekly or $35568 annually or $17.10 hourly.
This means that if you place an employee on salary, they must be in a professional type position AND make at least $17.10 an hour for full time.
