California's minimum wage will rise to $16.50 an hour effective January 1, 2025, driven by the consumer price index, reflecting ongoing inflation adjustments.
The rejection of Proposition 32 means no significant hike to $18 an hour, but the $0.50 increase and new salary threshold for exemptions will impact many employers.
Employers must ensure compliance with the new minimum salary test of $68,640 annually for exempt employees; failure could result in loss of exempt status.
It is crucial for California employers to review their personnel practices and prepare for these important legislative changes ahead of 2025.
