This Law Firm Publication by Fisher & Phillips LLP discusses legislation signed by California Governor Jerry Brown that will eventually increase the California minimum wage from $10.00 to $15.00 per hour. This statewide minimum wage increase will be phased in gradually each year until it reaches $15.00 per hour by January 1, 2022. There is an exception accommodating certain businesses with 25 or fewer employees. These businesses will have an additional year to comply.
