Update: Los Angeles’ Citywide Hotel Minimum Wage Ordinance Is Already Having Disastrous Effects on the Local Economy

The implementation of the City of Los Angeles’ Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance (“Ordinance”), which was adopted in May of 2025 and became effective in September of 2025, has already had disastrous effects in the first six months. Employers have been forced to cut costs and the hotel industry, its employees, and its partners are paying dearly for this implementation: they are paying with their entire livelihood. Instead of smaller, incremental, merit based hourly wage increases, the minimum wage mandate forced an entire industry and those who rely on this industry to absorb extraordinary increases in costs nearly overnight.

Los Angeles’ Proposed Minimum Wage Increase for Airport and Workers in Large Hotels (60+ rooms) Remains Suspended

Despite the fact that a referendum filed this past June has put this new proposed minimum wage increase on hold, employers need to be aware of what new potential rules they may have to follow. In addition, employees will need to be aware of what new rights and wages they may be entitled to. This is especially important because the potential increase in minimum wage for airport workers and large hotel workers will be significant. If the new minimum wage ordinances are implemented, workers in large hotels and airport workers in the City of Los Angeles will see their minimum wage increase significantly to $30/hour by 2028.
