Calculating paid sick leave pay for commissioned and exempt employees

Summary: An attorney asked how to calculate paid sick leave pay for an employee paid almost entirely by commission, and separately for an exempt employee who also receives an annual bonus. DLSE explains that a commissioned non-exempt employee's sick pay must be calculated under one of two statutory methods (the regular rate for the workweek, or a 90-day lookback average), while a genuinely exempt (executive, administrative, or professional) employee's sick day is simply paid at the regular salary rate, with the bonus not factored into that calculation. It matters to employers with commission-based sales staff and salaried-exempt employees.

Dear MT. Branton:

       Re:       Healthy Workplace Healthy Fan1ilies Act of2014 - Calculating Payment of Paid
                 Sick Leave· Exempt Non-Exempt Employees, Employees Paid by Commission

Your letter dated December 16, 2015, seeks clarification regarding which method of calculation
for paid sick leave (PSL) as required by Labor Code section 246(k)(l); (2) & (3) should be t\sed
for employees paid by commissions· and employees exempt from the payment of overtime. You
ask whether an exempt employee who is paid almost entirely by commissions has to be paid a
separate amol\11t of PSL or whether amounts that an employee regularly receives in commissions
which happen to be paid on a sick day would suffice. 1 Secondly, you ask for clarification
regarding how to calculate PSL for an exempt employee who also receives an annual bonus at the
end of each year.

Labor Code section 246(k) allows, as discussed below, an employer to pay PSL to an employee
who is not exempt from overtime under the prnfessional, administrative or executive exemption in
one of two ways. The employer may calculate the regular rate of pay for the workweek in which
the paid sick leave was taken (under (k)(l )) or the employer may calculate the total non-overtime
earnings for the prior 90 days divided by the total hours for the prior 90 days (under (k)(2)) A
non-exempt employee is paid based upon their total compensation which includes all forms of
compensation (hourly, commissions, piece rate, incentive/performance bonuses).2

Answering your first question, computing the amount of PSL due to an employee who is paid
almost entirely by commissions may be calculated by either method available under Labor Code

1
The Labor Commissioner addressed a similar question in an Opinion Letter dated May 14, 1987. ln the May 14,
1987 Opinion Letter, the Labor Commissioner stated that previously earned commissions paid while an employee was
off work on unpaid leave did not constitute vacation· pay. Rather, the lettei· reasoned that the compensation was earned
while working. It was simply paid while the employee was off on an unpaid leave.
2
For non -exempt employees paid by salary, the salary constitutes non-overtime pay. In calculating the regular rate
under (k)(l), the salary is divided by non-ovet"time hours. When calculating total non-overtime earnings for the
previous 90 days, the salary is divided by total non-overtime hours. Although the statute states that non-ovet"time pay
should be divided by total hours under (k)(2) - that provi'sion is only applicable when payment is made by
commission, piece rate or bonus which require that total hot1rs be used to calculate the regular rate of pay for the prior
90 days.

section 246(k)(l) or (2). Labor Code section 246(k)(3) would not apply to an employee paid
almost entirely by commissions because that employee is not as we understand your letter, earning
a salary of at least two times the minimum wage in addition to commissions.

At the outset it is important to understand that generally an employee paid almost entirely by
commissions is only exempt from overtime if one's earnings exceed one and one-halftimes the
minimum wage and more than one half of al! compensation represents commissions for each pay
period pursuant to Labor Code Section 515(b) and Section 3(D) of the Indus.trial Welfare
Commission Orders, or if the employee qualifies as an outside sales person under Labor Code
Section 1171 (and Section 1 (C) of the Industrial Welfare Commission Orders. Under both
instances, employees are commonly understood to be "exempt" from different aspects of minimum
labor standards (overtime or minimum standards imder the !WC Orders, respectively). These two
exemptions are independent exemptions which apply separately from paid sick leave requirements
including the calculation for payment for sick leave taken by employees who receive commissions.

In Labor Code section 246(k), the reference to "exempt" and "nonexempt" employee for purposes
of selecting the appropriate calculation under Labor Code section 246(k) refers to an employee
who satisfies both the salary and duties tests in Labor Code section 515(a), and not to the outside
sales exemption pursuant to Labor Code 1171 and Section l(C) of the !WC Orders, nor to the
overtime exemption for commissioned salespersons pursuant to Section 3(D) of the Wage Orders
as authorized under Labor Code section 51 S(b).

To the extent there is ambiguity regarding the meaning of"exempt" in the calculation for paid sick
leave in Labor Code section 246(k), intent can be ascertained from the statute's context and
legislative intent. The language of Section 246 evidences an intent that the distinctions for how to
compute PSL is based on whether an employee is exempt (paid a minimum salary for all hours
worked and meets the duties test) as a professional, executive, or administrative employee and
therefore meets the requirements of Labor Code section 51 S(a). 3 ·

When the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of2014 was amended by Assembly Bill 304
in 2015, the Legislature created fiexibili ty by allowing employers to calculate a non-exempt
employee's pay either by looldng back 90 days and dividing total wages paid, excluding overtime
pay, by total hours in the full pay periods in the prior 90 days of employment, or by using the
regular rate of pay in the pay period in which the leave was tal<en. An analysis by the Senate
Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations at the time AB 304 was being considered indicates
that the language in Labor Code 246(k)(3) was meant to apply to an employee exempt as
"administrative, executive, or professional". (See Senate Committee on Labor and Industrial
Relations, Analysis, Hearing date July 8, 2015.)

Also, the same Legislative Committee Analysis described above also stated a concern regarding
commissioned sales persons. The committee analysis stated that paid sick leave could be paid
based 011 either the regular rate of pay in the pay period the paid sick leave is taken or the average
pay fo1· the prior 90 days for commissioned sales persons which is consistent with the view that the
options provided in (k)(l) and (k)(2) would apply to a commissioned salesperson. This allows

3
The fact that an employee receives at least the minimum salary amount under Labat· Code section 515(a) is not itself
sufficient to qualify as an exempt employee because the duties test must also be met for an employee to be exempt for
purposes of ovettime and, as discussed In this letter, for calculation of PSL as well.

employers to choose either method of calculating payment that would compensate the employee
for the sick day but not lead to an inflated !'ate for the leave if, in fact, a payment was just received
fot commissions. The Analysis is attached here for your review.

Based on the above, in the first scenario yot1 describe, employees who are paid by commissions
must be paid accotding to Labor Code sections 246(k))(l) or(2).

Secondly, you ask how an employee who is exempt and is entitled to a non- discretionary bonus is
required to be paid for a sick clay. Normally, an exempt employee would be entitled to continue to
receive his or her full pay without deduction for a sick day of less than 8 hours but the clay or
partial clay of sick leave may be deducted from earned or fronted leave balances. (See discussion
regarding application of leave for exempt employees in DLSE Opinion Letter 2009.11.23, pp. 4- 7).

If the employee is exempt under the administrative, executive or professional exemption and no
leave time is provided for any other purpose, then normally the salary would continue without
deduction for a sick day with the time applied against leave balances and tracked in accordance
with Labor Code section 246(h). The non-discretionary bonus would not figure into the salary of
an employee exempt under Labor Code section 515(a) because such bonuses are only figured into
the pay of a non-exempt employee in order to determine the regular rate of pay for overtime and to
figure the paid sick leave rate under Labor Code section 246(k)(l)-(2). Here, an employee who is
exempt tmder the administrative, executive or professional exemption and uses a full sick day
would be paid for an amount of pay which equals his or her regular salary for the sick day because
the leave would be computed based on the regular salary, pursuant to Labor Code section
246(k)(3). For a full-time employee, the annual salary would be divided by 52 weeks and then by 5
days to determine the daily wage that would have to be paid for a sick day.

This opinion is based exclusively on the facts and circumstances described in your request and is
given based upon your representations, express or implied, that you have provided a foll and fair
description of all facts and circumstances that would be pertinent ta out consideration of the
questions presented. The existence of any other factual or historical background not contained in
your letter might require a conclusion different from the one expressed herein. You have
represented that this opinion is not sought by a pari-y to pending private litigation concerning the
issues addressed herein. You have also represented that this opinion is not sought in connection
with an investigation or litigation between a client or firm and the Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement.

    Below ls a summary of the changes to the paid sick law that ru-e proposed with this blli:

AB 304 (Gonmloz) Page 4 of6

Co11form.s to State Law Governing Ca/PERS Retired A11nultmits: Under the' Government
Code, Ca!PERS retired annukMts are not allowed to 1·eceive any form of comJ)eusatlon h1
additlon to thek pay as it could aJTuct their status tJnder CalPERS. By exempting retired
a:nnuitants fi•om the provisio11s of AB 1522, retired persons wlll be able to retum to work
while stlll receiving their pension annuity,

Ji'/exlbitlty for Existing Paid Siok Leave Plans: Prlo1· to the signing of AB 1522, some
employei·s were already engaged in the p1·aotice of providing paid leave or paid time -off. This
bill will 0~1ri(y that employers are not required to provide additional paid sick days if the
employer had a policy prior to Janual'y l, 2015 that meets ce1·tah1 conditions, as specified,

Alt:ernaUve Accrual for Non-Hourly Payroll: The payroll systems fur many employe1·s do not
track their employees on·!\11 hourly basls. This blll .will allow employers to comply with state
law lf they aCl)l'ue or :front-load thek sick leave policies so employees receive three paid sick
days by the' 120th day of the year.

under AB 1522 as well as the "regular 1·ate of pay" that is more familiar to many employers,

3, B,emaining Conoerns:

co·mmittee staff h1,s. received ln:formation regiwding some Ul11'eso.lved oonco1·113 with the
provisions of the paid sick days law and its implementation. Speo.iflcally, swkeboldera aro
seeking clarification In the fullowlng areas:

Ca/ou/at/ng Paid Sick Leave for Employees Wm·klng on Commission: Concerns have been
raised regarding the calculatlo11 of wages to be paid for a11 employee working on oommlssion
that takes their accrued· paid sick days, ·

The bill provides that a.n employer shall ca.lculate paid sick leiwe using any of the following:
a) For nonexempt employees: , ·
I) In the same manner as the regular rate of pny fot• the wol'kwoek in which the
employee uses paid sick time, whe(hor 01· 11ot he/she works overtiine it\ tlw.t week,
ii) By divkling tl1e employee's total wages, mt incJud ing overtime premium pay, by
the employee's total hoi.n·s worked in the fiill pay periods of the pl'io1• 90 days.
b) Paid sick tirne for exempt e11111Ioy(l()s (exempt as an administrative, exequt/ve, or
professional employee under a wagl' order ofthe Industrial We/fare Commts.l'ion)
shall be calculated .in the same manner as tl1e employer cnloulates wages for other
forms of paid leave time.

The concern is 1hat an outside sales person that essentially sets their own hours and Is highly
comp1~nsated ·could 'ganw' the system by planning when to l'equest the paid slok days in

AB 304 (Gonzalez) Page 5 of6
ol'der to get a highe1· rate by timing li1e receipt of ihelr Income. Staff was given the example
of property and casualty inslll'ance agents and brokers who al'e pald on commisslon .and have ·
both renewal lnoonte as well as income based 011 new sales closed during the· yea1·, As an
examp.le, they ofte1· the following scenqrlo: M employee that eams $300,000 ann1mlly but
iakes a smaller monthly draw, say $8,000 per month, but toward the end of the yem· drnws
clown the.. remai11der of 01e income 9wed would be able to game tho system because the
balloon payments toward the end of the yom wm allow that person (fur the next 90 days) to
request sick pay i\t 11 mi1oh higher 1·atc tl1ai1 if tl1e slok pay was detel'mlned bas~d mi the.
Income paid over ilie entire 12 months, .

This Is a shnllar concern fur employees who earn btmuses. Stakeholders would like the
provisions to align to Ja.9t yei\l''~ 1·egular rate of pay conoept which stated, "lfthe employee !h
the 90 days of employment befu1·e taking accJ'ued sick leave had different hom·ly pay 1·ates,
was paid by commission or piece rate, or was a nonexempt salaried employee, then ilie rate
of pay shall be calculated by dividing the employee's total wages, not lncludlng overtime
premium pay, by the employee's total houl's worked 1n tl1e fill! pay periods of fue priol' 90
days of employment." ·

Continuous 90-day employment: Concerns have been raised by the Cily and Cou1,ty of San
Francisco 1·egardlng an indivklmil that wot-ks fo1· an employe1· for part of the yel\l'; leaves that
job nnd Jate1· 111 the year retul'lls to work ful' lhe same employe1·; Tbe concern lies hi the
ability of tha:t employee to 1·trgal11 access to any balance paid sick days if tl1ey had such 11Coess ·
ut the time of separation, Specifically, the ooncertJ is tl1at an employee might work tbt 30
days, ti1e11 l'eturn 8 months latet• and fue employer would have to stitch together the .Previous
employment with the new employment to figure out when 90 days of employment is
cumulatively met. They propose the. fullowlng olarification; "246, (~(2) If an employee
separates from an employer 90 or more di1ys a(ter he 01: slm wns hired and ls rehired by the
employo1· witbfn one year 'll·om the date of sepa.1•atlo11, pl'eviot1sly accrued and unused paid
sick days shall be reillstated., ," They believe ci1at thh revt~ion would allow the employee
access to tho balance but if the e1nployee did not have access when he/she lei\, the clock
would resta1t Jf rehire,d like any other new hirn,
