Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law last fall to implement a $25/hr minimum wage for health care workers starting June 1 but is now considering postponing it to avoid worsening the state budget deficit.
Some employers have already raised wages above the current statewide minimum of $16 in anticipation of the upcoming wage increase, ensuring employees receive higher pay starting from $18 to $23/hr next month.
California health systems like UC Health are moving ahead with the wage hike announced as $23/hr to meet the June 1 implementation deadline, while hospitals such as Kaweah Health Medical Center have raised wages to $18/hr due to market competition.
