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.
