Just a quick reminder, the minimum wage in California is increasing on January 1, 2020. According to Marilyn Monahan, attorney from Monahan Law Office, the following is applicable information:
Minimum Wage: California: On January 1, 2020, the minimum wage in California will increase to $12/hour for employers with 25 employees or less, and to $13/hour for employers with 26 or more employees (such as ALEs).
New minimum wage rates—higher than those set by the state—will go into effect January 1, 2020, in various California cities, including Belmont, Cupertino, Daly City, El Cerrito, Los Altos, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Novato, Oakland, Palo Alto, Petaluma, Redwood City, Richmond, San Diego, San Jose, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma, and Sunnyvale.
Among other compliance issues these increases may create, employers should also remember to (a) update their workplace posters; and (b) adjust, as necessary, their ACA §4980H affordability calculations (e.g., the amount they can charge employees when using the rate of pay safe harbor).
