1 A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next.
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.
Importantly, Californiaâs salary requirement may be changing soon as a result of a minimum wage increase. As mentioned above, the current minimum wage is $8.00/hour, which means an exempt employee must normally earn twice that amount of minimum wage for a 40-hour work week (or $640 per week).
