UPDATE: Healthcare Minimum Wage Increase Further Delayed

Jun 27, 2024 | HR Headliner, HR NEWS

As you know, we have been closely watching developments regarding the increase in minimum wage for California healthcare workers. Originally set to become effective on June 1, 2024, at the end of May, we reported that the requirement was delayed to July 1.
It was recently announced that the implementation of SB 525 will be delayed even further to address a significant state budget shortfall. The new deadline will be voted on by the California Legislature and could take effect on October 15 if state revenues meet certain goals. If that does not happen, the law could be pushed back to January 1, 2025.
Sierra HR Partners will continue to monitor this issue and update clients as new information becomes available.
