Question

In order to qualify for the "white-collar" exemption as outside salespeople, the employees must be

paid a minimum salary of at least $455/week.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

FALSE.

The minimum salary of at least $455/week does not apply for the outside salespeople. There is no salary basis or compensation for outside salespeople to qualify for the "white-collar" exemption.

They only need to meet these requirements:
1) their primary duty is to make sales or obtain orders or contracts for services or contracts for the use of the facilities that clients or customers pay.
2) in performing their primary duty, the salesperson is regularly engaged away from the employer's place of business.
