The President’s Proposal Joe Biden to include in the economic rescue package the funds to finance an increase in the minimum wage to $ 14 dollars per hour nationwide, it won’t be able to be done by that fast track , which is a disappointment for many, but if it lives in California this may not affect you as much.
Although an increase in the minimum wage is necessary in many territories, some states of the country have established a minimum wage higher than the federal one that allows its residents to cope with the particular costs of living in each area and California is one of them.
However, the curious thing about the Californian case is that despite the fact that the minimum wage is May r to federal, there is at least 36 cities in the state in which the minimum hourly pay is still higher than the state . A Currently the highest minimum hourly wage is $ 16 dollars per hour in the city of San Francisco.
According to the California salary increase schedule, as of January 1, the minimum hourly pay was located at $ 13 dollars per hour if the company has less than 25 employees , and from $ 14 dollars per hour if there are more than 26 workers on payroll.
However , the state is scheduled to raise the minimum hourly wage to $ 15 dollars for all workers from on January 1, 2023.
According to the Labor Commissioner if you have a job ja in a city that has a higher minimum than the state, your employer must comply with local ordinance and pay you the highest wage .
