How many hours does a person of exempt status have to work in Florida, to get paid for the full 40 hours?

Under federal law, a salaried exempt employee must be paid for the entire day if he or she works even one hour that day. So theoretically, an exempt employee could work one hour each day, five days per week, and be paid for the entire week. That’s a minimum of 5  hours. Of course, in most positions, the employee could not complete his or her duties while working only 5 hours per week. As an employer, you would would be well within your rights to discipline or terminate the employee for poor performance under these circumstances. But, you would have to pay the worker’s entire salary for the week.
