California Minimum Wage 2024 July. Fast food restaurant employers, effective april 1, 2024, and healthcare facility employers, effective june 1, 2024, will have a higher minimum wage. Instead of the beginning of the year, several california cities and counties implement their local minimum wage rate increases on july 1.

For employers with 25 or less workers, the minimum wage would reach $18 on. A judge rules that a proposition to raise the california minimum wage to $18 an hour can’t go before voters until 2024.
