Analysis:
The State of California Minimum Wage will increase from $16.00 to $16.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025. The City is required to modify its compensation schedule to comply with the law by the January 1, 2025, implementation date. Those employees currently at a pay range starting below $16.50 per hour will need to be increased to a pay range with a minimum equal to $16.50 per hour effective the pay period including January 1, 2025. The part-time pay schedule has been adjusted to assign new ranges on the City’s master schedule to comply with the minimum wage requirements. The updated pay schedule for Part-Time, Non-Permanent and Non-Classified Employees is included as Exhibit A.
