Crystal Bay, NV asked in Employment Law for California

Q: Does the minimum exempt salary include IRA and Health Care benefits?

I just want to know what is included in the Exempt Salary Minimum wage? Does include certain benefits I know you can include 10% of a bonus but can my employer include company contributions, and health benefits?
