It's 41 dollars an hour now, btw. Per the rules, that means if you make less then $85,280 you are eligible this year.

- ghshephard 11y agoGiven that's what we were paying our entry level desktop support employees in San Mateo in 2003, kind of hard to imagine what types of computing occupation would pay less. That might be the problem with a "California Wide" rule - I can imagine in some rural areas, that salary (and cost of living) might be less.
- greenyoda 11y agoI'm sure that there are plenty of IT-type jobs in non-tech companies outside of Silicon Valley where developers make around $85K per year. If we work for tech companies, it's hard to remember that most programming work is pretty unglamorous stuff, like writing back-office code for a bank or supermarket chain. And $85K may not even be such a bad salary if you're not in an area with crazy real estate prices.
- ghshephard 11y agoThat's actually the point I'm trying to make. A low-end-hourly-wage-slave IT desktop support tech, is the type of person that overtime wage laws are supposed to protect - yet they don't in Silicon Valley. At the same time, there are likely a lot of Professional salaried tech employees in rural areas of California, for whom $85K is considered a good salary. I'm just noting that creating a California wide over/under for overtime is going to result in some discrepancies.
