WHAT'S NEW IN 2025
CALIFORNIA MINIMUM WAGE
RATES INCREASES
Effective January 1, 2025, California minimum wage will increase to $16.50 per hour for all employers, regardless of size.
The California cities and counties below have ordinances with higher minimum wage standards. Employers must comply with the local rules. For more information, the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education publishes regular updates.
Covered employers must post conspicuously the current wage notice, which can be downloaded through the links above.
Employers with remote workers in more than one location may need to apply different minimum wage rates in each. Employers can solve this complexity by paying the highest applicable rate across the boards.
California employers in the fast food and health care industries should check their applicable minimum wage increases.
