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.
A salary basis is a minimum amount a salaried worker is entitled to receive based on overall job duties. The minimum amount a salaried manager is entitled to receive is $455 per week. A nonsalaried manager's pay cannot be less than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Nonsalaried managers who perform certain computer-related duties may be entitled to a pay rate of at least $27.63 per hour.
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.
