California's minimum wage is now $10. Unions say that's less than $21,000 a year for a full-time worker.

In 2014, San Francisco voters passed a proposition that will raise the minimum wage from $12.25 to $13 on July 1 and to $15 by 2018.

The first step was effective July 1, 2014 and raised the minimum wage to $9.00 in California.The minimum wage increase also increases the minimum salary for exempt status.Both of these factors can have large financial impacts for employers and the planning should begin now as the change takes effect on January 1, 2016. The second step raises the minimum wage to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016.eginning January 1, 2016 the new minimum salary required will be $41,600. It is imperative to understand and remember that paying the minimum salary alone itself will not qualify a position for exempt status, there are also duties and time spent tests that must be met.
