California Minimum Wage Law Update
- Minimum wage increased to $13.00 per hour for employers with 25 or fewer employees and $14.00 per hour for employers with 26 or more employees effective January 1, 2021.
- Minimum wage rates are set to increase by $1.00 for all employees in 2022.
- In 2023, minimum wage rates will be $15.00 across the board.
Wage and Hour Exemptions
Employees may be exempt from wage and hour laws based on criteria associated with their salary, actual duties, and skills. Exempt employees neither receive overtime pay nor qualify for minimum wage. California labor law defines these exemptions based on Executive, Administrative, or Professional status. Learn more here.
California Labor Law Poster Update
All businesses within the State of California must display the new Minimum Wage notice along with other state-mandated posting requirements where it is sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. This change has been reflected in our California & Federal Labor Law Poster and does require an immediate mandatory update. Failure to meet compliance requirements and display the updated poster could result in fines.
Order the California Labor Law Poster to immediately include this required update.
