Spotlight: Minimum Wage Rises to $5.75 Beginning Sunday
- Share via
Workers who earn minimum wage will see their pay increase to $5.75 per hour starting Sunday in the second phase of the state’s two-step increase in the minimum wage. The raise is a result of voter approval of Proposition 210 in 1996. The Department of Industrial Relations’ labor division has established a toll-free phone number, (888) ASK-WAGE, providing recorded information in English, Spanish and Chinese to employers and employees on state and federal minimum wage laws.
