If you are charged with DUI in California and you had a child in your car at the time of your arrest, the prosecutor could consider two charges. The first is an enhancement of prayer, not a separate charge. Denise Davis, Vice President of the California Chamber of Commerce, is an advocate for employers and provides them with information about state laws. If you have questions about the minimum wage in California, please reach out and someone will get back to you as soon as possible. If your employer does not pay you adequate overtime wages, you can file a claim for unpaid overtime with the California Department of Labor.
Most employees in California must be paid the minimum wage as required by state law, with some exceptions. In rare cases, an employer may substitute part (not all) of their minimum wage for housing or food. Refer to the Wage Claims Processing Policies and Procedures brochure for more information on the wage claim procedure. Certain employees are exempt from the minimum wage law, such as outside vendors, people who are related to the employer (parents, spouses, or children), and apprentices hired regularly under the State Learning Standards Division. When a local minimum wage rate exceeds the state minimum wage rate, employers must meet the local rate.
Therefore, because current California law requires a higher minimum wage than federal law, all California employers who are subject to both laws must pay the state minimum wage unless their employees are exempt under California law. Notices for salary orders in English and Spanish can be downloaded and printed from the Workplace Publications page on the DIR website. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and California labor law require all California employers to visibly display an approved California minimum wage poster and other federal and California labor law posters to ensure that all employees are aware of federal labor law and California overtime regulations. The minimum wage applies to most employees in California, with limited exceptions including tipped employees, some student workers, and other exempt occupations. Employers must ensure that the wage rate is shown on the employee's pay stub and that employees are paid at least the minimum wage, even when employees are paid piecework. However, it is important to note that the minimum wage in California is not necessarily enough to live on.
It is not equivalent to a living wage or an approximate income that families need to pay their bills.
