As of January 1, 2023, the minimum wage in California varies depending on the size of the employer. For employers with 25 or fewer employees, the minimum wage is $13.00 per hour. For employers with 26 or more employees, the minimum wage is $14.00 per hour. Some cities and counties in California may have higher local minimum wage requirements.
Under federal law (Fair Labor Standards Act), employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek are generally entitled to overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular rate of pay. However, exemptions may apply depending on factors such as job duties, salary level, and industry.
Employee classification as exempt or non-exempt is typically determined by factors such as job duties, salary basis, and salary level. Generally, exempt employees are not entitled to overtime pay, while non-exempt employees are eligible for overtime compensation. It's advisable to consult an employment law attorney to evaluate your specific situation.
Tipped employees are subject to specific regulations, such as the tip credit provision, which allows employers to pay a lower minimum wage as long as the employee's tips make up the difference. However, there are rules regarding tip pooling, tip sharing, and tip retention that employers must adhere to. Consulting an attorney can provide you with a better understanding of your rights as a tipped employee.
