City Council Agenda
January 10, 2023
Due to cost -of -living increase required by the State's minimum wage law, effective January 1, 2023, California's minimum wage will increase from $15.00 top $15.50 per hour for all employers. California Labor Code section 1182.12 requires minimum wage to be increased by at least 3.5 percent if the State's rate of inflation exceeds 7 percent. The California Department of Finance recently announced the rate of inflation increased to 7.9 percent, thus triggering the statewide increase in minimum wage. This will immediately affect approximately thirty-two (32) part-time employees, who now earn Tess than $15.50 per hour in job classifications shown on the proposed resolution and pay schedule. Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed part-time pay schedule to ensure all employees are paid at least the California minimum wage of $15.50 per hour.
The adoption of this resolution is necessary pursuant to Personnel Rules and Regulations of the City of Placentia, Rule IV, Section 1, which states proposed compensation schedules must be submitted to the City Council for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This proposal will cost the City approximately $19,500 per year in total compensation. Staff requests approval of a budget amendment in the prorated amount of $9,750 from the General Fund's fund balance for the remainder of the current fiscal year.
