CALIFORNIA ENACTS $15 MINIMUM WAGE RATE

On April 4, 2016, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law that will increase California’s minimum wage rate to $15 per hour by 2022. The minimum wage increase will be phased in over several years in separate schedules for employers, depending on the employer’s workforce size. The law also extends paid sick leave for certain employees.
