FAQs
Some frequently asked questions...
As of January 1, 2025, the minimum wage in California is $16.50 per hour for all employers.
Note that some California city and county minimum wages may be higher.
Similarly, industries may also have higher rates such as Fast food workers whose rate is at $20/hour as of April 1, 2024.
There are four payroll taxes in California:
- Unemployment Insurance (UI) – employer contribution
- Employment Training Tax (ETT) – employer contribution
- State Disability Insurance (SDI) – withheld from employee wage
- Personal Income Tax (PIT) – withheld from employee wage
Yes. The minimum wage is the same for both adult and minor employees.
No. Employers cannot pay their employees anything lesser than the minimum wage, through external agreements as it is a protection that may not be waived.
Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits, for those eligible, is determined depending on how much the individual has earned in the past 18 months and ranges from $40 to $450 weekly.
A rough idea can be seen in the California’s Unemployment Insurance Benefit Table.
A 3.4% UI rate is assigned to new employers for a period of two to three years.
The contribution rate will vary after this period and will partially depend on how much the employer has paid in UI benefits.
The UI rate schedule is decided on an annual basis, along with the amount of taxable wages.
