Law Review
Minimum Wage
Most employees in California must be paid at least $7.50 per hour.
Application of Federal Law
Employers in California are subject to both federal and state minimum wage requirements. However, since California law is stricter and requires a higher wage, the California minimum wage must be paid.
Employees Cannot Agree To Work For Less
Although some employees may desire to work for less than the minimum wage in order to secure employment, any agreement to work for less than the minimum wage is against public policy and is void. Even if such an agreement exists, the employer must pay the employee the required minimum wage.
