We all know that many cities in California have their very own minimal wages. And we additionally know that a number of of these cities had minimal wage will increase in July 2024, together with: Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, Fremont, Los Angeles (Metropolis), Los Angeles County (unincorporated areas), Malibu, Milpitas, Pasadena, San Francisco, and Santa Monica.
We additionally know (or ought to know), that particular minimal wage charges apply to some lodge staff in some California cities, akin to Lengthy Seaside, Los Angeles, Oakland, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood. Plus a few of these statues apply to companies in inns, and now have particular sick pay guidelines.
However what’s frustratingly laborious to know is which metropolis some enterprise fall in. I’m shocked by what number of companies don’t really know which metropolis they’re in as a result of the zip code says one factor, however the metropolis map may say one other. I’ve had shoppers who’re in a single metropolis on one facet of the road, and in one other metropolis proper throughout Sundown Blvd. Completely different minimal wages for companies throughout the road from one another!
That’s why I’m right here to remind you to examine your metropolis’s web site. Particularly should you lease your house, and don’t have any metropolis licenses to make clear which metropolis your enterprise formally in.
For town of Los Angeles, do this hyperlink; for Santa Monica, this one; and for the Bay Space, this hyperlink appears to work.
The penalties are steep for getting the minimal wage charge unsuitable, so double examine now (earlier than another person does for you)!
