MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES: MAKE SURE YOUR LOS ANGELES, CA EMPLOYER IS PAYING ATTENTION!

This Friday, in CA and throughout the country, the federal minimum wage will increase to $7.25 an hour, up from $6.55. According to the Labor Department, the pay increase will affect roughly 5 million workers who report earning less than $7.25 an hour. Make sure that your CA employer is following the law and that you are receiving no less than the minimum wage for your hard work! Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you are being paid less than minimum wage.

CA and federal law guarantees that you are paid no less than the minimum wage, or $7.25 an hour. Additionally, in California, the state minimum wage is already $8 an hour, almost one dollar more than the federal minimum wage. Great news for CA hourly employees! If you are not receiving at least $8 an hour, your employer might owe you money. Also, make sure that you are receiving overtime pay if you are eligible for it. Your employer must follow the law!
