SB 320

Current state and federal law generally require employees to be paid a

minimum wage. Current federal law, however, exempts from that requirement

employees employed in the capacity of outside salesman, which federal regulations

define as an employee whose primary duty is making sales or obtaining orders or

contracts for services or for the use of facilities for which a consideration will be paid

by the client or customer and who is customarily and regularly engaged away from

the employer's place of business in performing that primary duty (outside

salesperson). Outside salespersons are not similarly exempt from the state

minimum wage law. This bill exempts outside salespersons from the state minimum

wage law.
