It might make more sense to do just hourly. Fridays are way less productive anyway for people in California. 32 hours/week is plenty for many roles and a lot of people would love Friday off in Cali! However, for many that need/want 40 hrs or more - I think they'll end up finding less full-time opportunities or have to work for a staffing company as a result of these laws as companies have to contract with a company directly.
They're cracking down on hiring freelancers directly so businesses should ensure that their freelancers have a registered company (LLC) or be an "employee" at a staffing company.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> However, for many that need/want 40 hrs or more You can still pay them hourly for 40 hours or more, you are just subject to wage and hour rules (including premium overtime.) You keep acting like this is a minimum pay for full-time employees in certain jobs, when it is, in fact, a minimum monthly salary to qualify for certain exemptions from wage and hour rules.
- exclusiv 10y agoYes I see your post to the federal and state rules and it clarifies this greatly so thank you. At the very least - there's extra admin overhead and rules from not having them exempt (paying less than the minimum) which should be weighed against the exemptions you get from paying the minimum salary amounts for certain jobs. For my company, I think we'll move toward lower but fair salaries and less hours and pay any overtime needed at times for some roles. I bet there's a lot of companies paying under the $~87k for computer related professionals that do not pay overtime. While the limit was lower about 7 yrs ago when I was working for the man (an agency), I definitely didn't get overtime for many long weeks and I was not exempt at the time.
