California Minimum Wage Increases on July 1, 2025
California Minimum Wage Increases on July 1, 2025

Employers and employees should be aware that several California cities have recently increased their minimum wage on July 1, 2025. The state’s minimum wage increase applies to all employers regardless of its size and the number of people it employs. The state’s minimum wage is the least amount you may pay an employee for each hour of work. However, a city many set its own minimum wage that is higher than the state’s. In those cases, the higher minimum wage applies if you employ or work in a city with the higher minimum wage.
