DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Human Resources Department recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign a Resolution to amend the Salary Schedule effective December 23, 2017 (Pay Period 1) for Extra Help classifications, Student Intern - Extra Help, and General Trainee - Extra Help, to be in compliance with the new California minimum wage rate, which takes effect January 1, 2018.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On April 4, 2016, the Governor of California signed legislation raising the minimum wage for all industries (Senate Bill 3, amending section 1182.12 of the California Labor Code). Effective January 1, 2018, the minimum wage in California increases from $10.50 per hour to $11.00 per hour.
The County has two (2) Extra Help classifications that are paid the minimum wage at step 1, Student Intern - X Help and General Trainee - X Help. In order to be in compliance with the new California minimum wage law, the salary schedule for these two classifications will need to be amended.
