Comment on Ask HN: Software Engineer Minimum Wageparent

Comments

In 2025 computing professionals are supposed to be paid at least 116k in Washington state in order to be classified as an exempt employee. If they don't do this, they have to reclassify you as non-exempt or else you have a legal case and backpay is warranted. In Seattle this is likely to be higher since Seattle's minimum wage is higher.

Listen to actual lawyers which are causing awareness of this.
