An FYI for California employers: California's state minimum wage will increase from $16 per hour to $16.50 per hour starting January 1, 2025.

This 3.18% increase, proportionate to the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase, is a routine adjustment.

Due to their industry-specific regulations, a few industries may be excluded from this minimum wage increase. Read our full blog on California's 2025 Minimum Wage to learn more!
