The minimum required salary (or fee basis) required to be paid to an employee working in American Samoa for an employer other than the Federal government is $380 per week.

An employee working in the motion picture industry who meets the duties tests for exemption as an executive, administrative or professional employee is not required to be paid on a salary basis provided that the employee is paid a base rate of at least $695 per week or a proportionate amount (based on a week of not more than six days) if the employee does not work a full workweek for any reason. A daily rate may be paid to an employee in a job category for which no weekly base rate is provided and the daily rate paid would yield at least $695 if six days were worked or to an employee in a job category with a base weekly rate of at least $695 and the daily base rate is at least one-sixth (1/6) of the weekly base rate.
