Few would argue that Tulare county is in the midst of a drought disaster. The California price gouging law applies following a state of emergency or major disaster. The state prohibits the overpricing of goods and services following such events.
The employee must receive the full salary of at least $455 per week if paid on a weekly basis. If the employee is paid every two weeks (bi-weekly), the minimum salary required is $910.00. If the employee is paid twice a month (semi-monthly), the minimum salary required is $985.83.
For example, if the salaried, non-exempt employee works for an organization that has a 35-hour workweek and earns $50,000 per year, the weekly salary equals $961.53. The hourly rate for this employee is, therefore, 961.53 divided by 35, or $27.47.
