Payments must be paid on a quarterly or more frequent basis to count towards the salary level test.
8 What is Changing Bonuses, Salary Catch-up Bonuses Discretionary Bonuses Don t Count Discretionary bonuses made at employers sole discretion cannot be used to satisfy the salary level requirement. i.e. any bonus paid without prior contract, promise, or announcement, and not for a set amount will not count
9 What is Changing Bonuses, Salary Catch-up Catch-up If an employee does not earn enough of a qualifying bonus or incentive payment in a given quarter to meet the standard salary level, an employer may make a catch-up payment no later than the next pay period after the end of the quarter. Any such catch-up payment counts only toward the prior quarter s salary.
