Effective January 1, 2008, the minimum wage in California is $8.00 per hour. It will increase to $9.00 per hour effective July 1, 2014, and to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016. For sheepherders, however, effective July 1, 2002, the minimum wage was set at $1,200.00 per month.
Those requirements are known as minimum salary thresholds under state and federal standards. The current minimum salary threshold in California is $41,600, twice the stateâs current minimum wage of $10 per hour. But effective December 1, 2016, the new minimum salary threshold will be $47,476 under the new Federal Overtime Rule.
