NORTHSTATE, Calif. — Several new state laws will impact Californians in 2023 regarding minimum wage and salaries for new employees.
In 2016, then-California Governor Jerry Brown signed SB-3 into law and mandated small increases each year until the state hit $15 per hour in 2022.
The state reached that increase last year. And, because of that, it will go up to $15.50 an hour in 2023. In counties within the Bay Area, like San Francisco, the minimum wage is already at $17.
We spoke with HR Director for O2 Employment Services Terri Beaudette and she wanted to clarify that this is for hourly employees. Salary-exempt employees making over $64K have their wages raised by double the minimum wage per year.
Small employers will increase their wages from $14 to $15.50. For large employers, it will only go up $0.50: from $15 to $15.50.
Also, starting in 2023, employers with 1or more employees at their company must have pay disclosures regarding salary ranges in job postings.
In addition, Beaudette defined pay disclosures as the hourly or salary range that the employer reasonably expects to pay.
Employers with 100 or more workers must submit pay data reports to the state including salaries of employees broken down by gender, race, and ethnicity.
Something some people may not know is that it's not just for new employees, employers also have to notify current employees of their pay. There are also a few new laws regarding unpaid bereavement leave if an employer has five or more...
