Hire Employees
Hiring the right people is one of the most important things you can do for your business. Be sure to take advantage of local resources to help you on your way, while also making sure that you know your responsibilities as an employer.
Minimum Wage
By city ordinance, Los Angeles has new minimum wage laws that gradually increase the minimum wage of all employees to $15 by 2020. The $15 minimum wage is being phased in with a step increase on July 1 of each year from 2016 to 2020 to enable business owners to prepare for this change. Businesses with 25 or fewer employees will have an additional year to comply. The Minimum Wage Ordinance applies to all full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees who work in Los Angeles for more than 2 hours a week. Learn more about the Minimum Wage Ordinance and review the schedule for wage increases.
In addition to providing a living wage for working Angelenos, research shows that a higher minimum wage reduces worker turnover and absenteeism, providing greater stability and productivity, while lowering recruiting and training costs for your business.
