Are there salaried employees working full time and making only $23,660?

That amount over 52 40 hour weeks is $11.375 an hour.


Many businesses have multiple "managers" on salary making
this little. Food service and chain retail stores are prone
to having a day manager, an evening manager, a night
manager, etc. with no authority to decide anything, and no
employees they supervise. Two prong approach: (1) The
employee gets a title instead of a raise; and (2) the
employee is overtime exempt. What's not to like?
