According to FLSA guidelines, what is the minimum weekly salary threshold for computer professionals to be exempt from overtime pay?

  1. $10.00/hour

  2. $455/week

  3. $27.63/hour

  4. $500/week

The correct answer is: $27.63/hour

According to FLSA guidelines, the minimum weekly salary threshold for computer professionals to be exempt from overtime pay is $27.63 per hour. This falls under the "Computer Employee Exemption" which requires computer professionals to be paid on an hourly fee basis of not less than $27.63 per hour. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific minimum salary threshold for computer professionals under the FLSA guidelines. Option A is the minimum wage rate stated in dollars per hour, option B is the standard minimum weekly salary threshold for exempt employees under the FLSA, and option D exceeds the hourly rate required for computer professionals to be exempt from overtime pay.
