California’s $20 Fast Food Minimum Wage is in Effect NOW and Applies Broadly to Most Fast Food Chains.

Most people are aware of California’s new $20 fast food minimum wage, but some are uncertain whether or not the minimum wage increase applies to their particular restaurant or shop- especially in light of the last minute exemptions signed into law. The phrases “fast food restaurant employee,’ “limited-service restaurant,” and “establishment” are defined in the new law. It is important to be certain whether or not your restaurant is required to pay broadly reaching $20 minimum wage or if you may fall into an exemption, which is discussed in a later blog.

Update: McDonald’s Confirms that California’s $20 Minimum Wage Will Lead to Increase in Menu Prices (and Possibly More Changes).

Fast food franchisees confirm that they will be increasing menu prices to offset the staggering increase in labor costs due to California’s new $20 minimum wage for all fast food workers. However, the California legislature, in establishing California’s new fast food worker minimum wage, may have failed to deliver high wages to California fast food workers. If the menu prices increase significantly, the fast food workers may find that their higher wages do not significantly increase their buying power at their own workplace- and perhaps in other areas of their life. In addition, if fast food franchisees choose to go fully automated and not hire employees, there are no higher wages for these workers because there will be no wages at all.
