Q2Domain Verified
A company implements a new policy where employees in a specific department are paid a fixed salary regardless of the hours worked, but their bonuses are tied to the department's overall productivity. This bonus structure is variable and can fluctuate significantly month-to-month. For an employee in this department to be considered exempt under the salary basis test, what is the most critical factor regarding this bonus structure?
The bonus, even if variable, must be paid at least once a quarter and its inclusion must not reduce the employee's effective hourly rate below the minimum wage.
The bonus must be guaranteed and paid on a fixed schedule, independent of any performance metrics.
The total compensation, including the fixed salary and the guaranteed minimum bonus, must meet the minimum wage requirements for all hours worked.
The bonus must be a fixed amount that, when added to the salary, ensures the total compensation meets the minimum salary threshold for exemption.
