California fast-food minimum wage

Since April 1st, fast-food workers in California must be paid at least $20 per hour. This rule applies to companies with 60 or more restaurants across the U.S. So, even if a fast-food chain has just a few locations in California, it still has to pay the $20 minimum wage.

If you’re not sure whether your business needs to follow this new law, it’s a good idea to ask a lawyer for help.
