Can you send me info how to pay exempt employees. The state site says 75 time minimum wage, another site said $900, I also listened to a paychex webinar with an “expert” from new york that said $780

It seems everyone is right under certain circumstances:

(1) New York City by (i) Large employers of eleven or more employees $975.00 per week on and after December 31, 2017; $1,125.00 per week on and after December 31, 2018); (ii) Small employers of ten or fewer employees $900.00 per week on and after December 31, 2017; $1,012.50 per week on and after December 31, 2018; $1,125.00 per week on and after December 31, 2019;

(2) Remainder of downstate (Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties) $825.00 per week on and after December 31, 2017; $900.00 per week on and after December 31, 2018; $975.00 per week on and after December 31, 2019; $1,050.00 per week on and after December 31, 2020; $1,125.00 per week on and after December 31, 2021);

(3) Remainder of state (outside of New York City, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties) $780.00 per week on and after December 31, 2017; $832.00 per week on and after December 31, 2018; $885.00 per week on and after December 31, 2019; $937.50 per week on and after December 31, 2020.
