California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that the California minimum wage will increase in 2021 as scheduled. Although current economic conditions authorize him to suspend the scheduled increase in the minimum wage for 2021, Newsom will move the increase forward as reflected in the 2020 state budget. The minimum wage will increase on January 1, to $13.00 per hour for businesses with 25 or fewer employees, and to $14.00 per hour for businesses with more than 25 employees.
