Wage and Hour Exemptions

Employees may be exempt from wage and hour laws based on criteria associated with their salary, actual duties, and skills. Exempt employees neither receive overtime pay nor qualify for minimum wage. California labor law defines these exemptions based on Executive, Administrative, or Professional status. Learn more here.

 California Labor Law Poster Update

All businesses within the State of California must display the new “California Law Prohibits Workplace Discrimination & Harassment”, “Whistleblowers are Protected”, “Notice to Employees-Injuries Caused by Work”, and “Minimum Wage” posters along with other state-mandated posting requirements where they are sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. These changes have been reflected in our California Labor Law Poster and require an immediate mandatory update. Failure to meet compliance requirements and display the updated poster could result in fines.

Order the California Labor Law Poster to ensure full compliance with these new posters and all state and federal workplace poster mandates.
