California & Los Angeles Minimum Wage Laws

California, Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles have specific minimum wage laws set up to protect employees from employers who might take advantage of them by failing to pay the legal minimum wage. If an employer is in Los Angeles County, or the City of Los Angeles they must abide by specific law:

• As of January 2018, the California minimum wage is $10.50 an hour for employers with 26 or more employees, or $11.00 per hour if they have 25 or fewer employees. This rate goes up in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
• As of January 2018, Los Angeles County minimum wage laws require employers with 26 or more employees to pay 13.25 per hour, or $12.00 per hour if they have 25 or fewer employees. This rate goes up in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
• The City of Los Angeles minimum wage schedule is the same as Los Angeles County

*If your primary place of employment is in Los Angeles County, this overrides California State minimum wage law.
