Protecting Your California Wage And Hour Rights

The Law Offices of Eric A. Boyajian, APC, Employment Lawyer is your go-to law firm if you are facing issues concerning your fair earnings under California employment laws.

The minimum wage in California has been steadily rising in the past decade or so. As of January 1, 2021, the state’s minimum wage became $14 per hour for companies with 26 or more employees and $13 per hour for companies with 25 or fewer. Previous years’ rates had been $13 and $12, respectively, beginning in 2020, $12 and $11 in 2019, and $11 and $10.50 in 2018.

Some exceptions apply. For example, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, and other cities have higher minimum wages than the state overall. Furthermore, some occupations (such as student employees, camp counselors, and handicapped employees working for nonprofit organizations), have lower state minimum wages.
