Happy Holidays ADOMA!
2019 is ending, it seems just like yesterday we were welcoming the New Year. Looking to 2020 seems like a dream, but it is here and that is very exciting. This last year we have had many great speakers at our monthly meetings as well as at our annual education and mini conferences. I thank you all for your input in providing such great ideas, which provided many of our great speakers and topics. With that being said, let us top them in 2020! Remember this is all about us, what we need and the areas we need to work on to improve our dealerships and ourselves.

California 2020 minimum salary requirement for exempt computer professional announced
( Published on Thu, 11/07/2019 - 8:49pm )
The California Department of Industrial Relations announced the new minimum salary threshold for exempt computer professionals. Effective January 1, 2020, a computer professional must receive a salary of no less than $96,968.33 per year ($8,081.71 monthly) in order to qualify for the white collar exemption. This increase reflects the 2.5% increase in the California Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers over the minimum threshold from 2019.

Court of Appeal reaches employer-friendly conclusion regarding meal and rest period premiums and rounding policies
( Published on Thu, 11/07/2019 - 8:42pm )
Last month, the Court of Appeal issued a rare employer-friendly ruling regarding the calculation of meal and rest period premiums and regarding time rounding policies. In Ferra v. Loews Hollywood Hotel, LLC, plaintiff – a former bartender for the defendant – alleged that her employer improperly paid employees’ meal and rest period premiums at the base rate of compensation (i.e., the hourly wage), without including an additional amount based on incentive compensation such as nondiscretionary bonuses. Plaintiff reasoned that, because these additional amounts are included for the purpose of calculating overtime premiums, they should also be included for the purpose of calculating meal and rest period premiums, since the language in the statutes governing each of these payments is essentially identical.
