California's Computer Professional Exemption Tweaked
California computer professionals enjoy a special exemption from overtime that has a duties component and a minimum pay component. Last year the Legislature rolled back the minimum pay requirement from $49 / hour down to $36 / hour. Governor Schwarzenegger just signed AB 10, which provides that an employee may be eligible for the special computer exemption if s/he earns a salary of over $75,000 per year. The salary and hourly rate are adjusted each year. AB 10 is here. This is an "urgency" statute, which means it takes effect immediately.
