I just posted a new video on my YouTube channel about the issues facing employers with the state and local minimum wage increases in 2018 (embedded below).  At the end of the first quarter in 2018, it is a good time to review compliance with the state and local minimum wage laws, and to start to prepare for the local minimum wage increased on July 1, 2018.  For example, Los Angeles city and county minimum wage rates will increase to $13.25 per hour from the current $12.00 per hour for employers with 26 or more employees on July 1.  In addition to my regular blog posts, I’ll be featuring more videos on my channel as well, so please subscribe to both.
