Difference Between Debt & Liabilities by Cam Merritt; Updated September 26, 2017 In the shorthand language of business, the terms debt and liabilities get thrown around as if they're the same thing.
Posted on April 07, 2016. As you have probably heard, the Department of Labor is planning to dramatically raise the minimum salary requirement for employees to qualify as exempt under the âWhite Collar Exemptions.â As we learned on May 18, 2016, the new minimum is $47,476, which could impact nearly five million employees.
Under the California Labor Code, an exempt employee must be paid an annual salary equal to at least twice the amount that would be earned by a minimum-wage hourly employee working a 40-hour workweek. At the current minimum wage at $10 per hour, the minimum salary for an exempt employee is $41,600 annually. Under SB3, the minimum exempt salary will increase incrementally, first to $43,680 and eventually to $62,400, once the minimum wage reaches $15 per hour in 2022. Meanwhile, the minimum salary threshold for exempt employees under federal law has been increased to $47,476, effective December 1, 2016.
