Under Labor Code Section 515.5, some computer software employees are considered exempt if they meet certain duties and compensation criteria. The compensation rate is supposed to vary with the rate of inflation.
The California Division of Labor Statistics and Research has just adjusted the minimum pay rates for the exemption for 2012:
Old hourly rate: $37.94
New rate: $38.89
Old monthly salary: $6,587.50
New monthly salary: $6,752.19
Old annual salary: $79,050.00
New annual salary $81,026.25
The DLSR's memorandum announcing the change is here.
Thanks to the Cal Chamber for pointing this out.
