"LA is a great big freeway. Put a hundr"...oh, is this on? Oops.
San Jose's voters approved a $10.00 minimum wage, indexed to inflation beginning in 2014. (The California state minimum wage is $8.00.) San Jose joins San Francisco as the second city to pass its own city wide minimum wage.
The new, 6-page ordinance has a bunch of additional provisions in it. Payroll records must be kept for four years. There is a new poster required. Every employer must provide new employees with the employer's name and address in writing. The anti-retaliation provision says that any adverse action taken within 90 days of an employee's protected activity related to the minimum wage is presumed to be retaliation. Oh, and there is a penalty of $50 per employee per pay period for non-compliance. The ordinance allows for government enforcement, and also creates a private right of action for violations as well.
The new wage is effective 90 days from when its November election is certified. Our friends at the Cal Chamber say that the new wage will take effect in March 2013 or so.
Here is the ordinance.
Thanks for the tip, Cal Chamber. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. If you know the owner of a small business in San Jose, you may wish to let him or her know about the new ordinance before he or she is litigated, fined, etc. out of business.

San Francisco Update
Employers operating in SF - couple of things to note.
First, a new poster! This one must be posted by employers with more than 20 employees who are covered by San Francisco's health care program. Under that program, employers must spend a certain amount per hour on health care coverage for San Francisco based employees. That amount starts at $1.46 per hour for employers of 20-100 employees. Read the poster and download it here.
Second, the San Francisco minimum wage, is going up! San Francisco employers must start paying $10.24 minimum starting 1/1/12. That's a big jump from this year's minimum of $9.92, because the minimum wage is indexed to inflation. Prices have been going up too, except for home prices of course! And employers have to post the updated poster, which is here.
San Francisco employers- here's wishing you an enjoyable winter celebration of pointy sustainably grown trees, except for those of you who are enjoyment-challenged or hypofuniacs.

Happy July 4!
The California state minimum wage is $8.00 (even higher for some employers subject to "living wage" ordinances, and in some localities like San Francisco). So, you may not care that the federal minimum wage is going up to $7.25 per hour on July 24, 2009. U.S. DOL's minimum wage page is here. Multi-state employers, heads up!

Federal Minimum Wage Going Up to $6.55 per hour 7/24/08
Most of us who practice or work in California don't think much about the federal minimum wage. That's because California's minimum wage is far higher than the federal standard. Those of you not subject to California's $8.00 minimum may be interested in the upcoming increase to the federal minimum. The FLSA minimum wage will rise $5.85 to $6.55 per hour on July 24, 2008. It will increase again to $7.25 on 7/24/09, too. Here's a U.S. DOL fact sheet on the federal minimum wage.
