California minimum wage will increase to $10.50 per hour on January 1, 2017 for employers with 26 or more employees (smaller employers will continue to pay $10.00 per hour until January 1, 2018) then increase each year until reaching $15 per hour in 2022. See California’s Gradual Increases in Minimum Wage, to Reach $15.00 Per Hour by January 1, 2022 (April, 2016).
Concurrently, many California cities (and two counties) have implemented their own minimum wage ordinances. Employers therefore should check regularly for any new or revised minimum wage.
Below is a comprehensive list of currently enacted minimum wage rates in effect on January 1, 2017 or increasing later in the year for all applicable locations that have enacted their own minimum wage ordinances.
