Minimum wage in California increased to $15.50 per hour in January of 2023. This law is in place for all employers. But you should know that more than 30 California cities or counties have their own local ordinances that set the minimum wage even higher – several with increases that took effect on July 1 of this year.
In the City of Los Angeles, for instance, effective July 1, 2023, the minimum wage was set to $16.78 per hour. Of course, this only applies to those who perform at least two hours of work within the geographic boundaries of the city and qualify as an employee under state law.
Regardless, be informed and be careful. Are you being paid what you should?
Call or write to me or some attorney about this right away if you have any questions about this. Don’t wait! Laws are constantly changing in our state and maybe your employer isn’t keeping up with what your hourly wages, overtime, and breaks should be.
