Rate of Pay Safe Harbor Calculation

Rate of Pay Safe Harbor Calculation

This calculator helps determine if an employee's rate of pay qualifies for the "safe harbor" exemption under certain wage and hour laws. The safe harbor generally applies when an employee's regular rate of pay is at least twice the applicable minimum wage for all hours worked in a workweek.

function calculateSafeHarbor() { var hourlyWage = parseFloat(document.getElementById("hourlyWage").value); var minimumWage = document.getElementById("minimumWage").value; var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result"); resultDiv.innerHTML = ""; // Clear previous results // Input validation if (isNaN(hourlyWage) || hourlyWage <= 0) { resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter a valid employee's regular hourly rate of pay."; return; } if (isNaN(minimumWage) || minimumWage = safeHarborThreshold) { message = "Safe Harbor Met: Your employee's regular hourly rate of pay (" + hourlyWage.toFixed(2) + ") is at least twice the applicable minimum wage (" + minimumWage.toFixed(2) + " * 2 = " + safeHarborThreshold.toFixed(2) + ")."; } else { message = "Safe Harbor Not Met: Your employee's regular hourly rate of pay (" + hourlyWage.toFixed(2) + ") is less than twice the applicable minimum wage (" + minimumWage.toFixed(2) + " * 2 = " + safeHarborThreshold.toFixed(2) + "). Additional considerations for overtime may apply."; } resultDiv.innerHTML = message; } .calculator-container { font-family: sans-serif; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; max-width: 500px; margin: 20px auto; background-color: #f9f9f9; } .calculator-form h2 { text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; color: #333; } .form-group { margin-bottom: 15px; } .form-group label { display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; font-weight: bold; color: #555; } .form-group input[type="number"] { width: calc(100% – 20px); padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; } .calculator-container button { width: 100%; padding: 12px 20px; background-color: #007bff; color: white; border: none; border-radius: 4px; cursor: pointer; font-size: 16px; transition: background-color 0.3s ease; } .calculator-container button:hover { background-color: #0056b3; } .calculator-result { margin-top: 20px; padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #eee; background-color: #fff; border-radius: 4px; text-align: center; } .calculator-result p { margin: 0; font-size: 1.1em; }
