Pasadena is leading the way for wage fairness.

We want you to know that the minimum wage for Pasadena increased on July 1, 2019, and will continue to rise each July 1 until the rate reaches $15 an hour.

• As of July 1, 2019, the minimum wage for Pasadena is $13.50 an hour for those with 25 or fewer employees.
• For employers with more than 25 employees, the minimum wage is $14.25 an hour.

Paying the minimum wage is mandatory for employees within the Pasadena city limits. For those working outside of the city limits, employers must abide by California’s minimum wage:

• $11 an hour for 25 employees or fewer or $12 for more than 25 employees.

There are various other types of ways that employers commit wage fraud. This can include:

• Not paying overtime for workers who labor more than 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. The overtime rate is 1.5 times the regular pay rate.
• Failing to reimburse an employee for business expenses.
• Failing to ensure employees receive their required rest or meal breaks or not compensating them appropriately for missed breaks.
• Not paying an employee the agreed upon commissions or paying employees late.
• Not paying wages earned upon termination, including any accrued vacation or paid time off.

Reporting instances of wage and hour fraud is hard to do for many people. While their wages may be unfair or unreliable, it is not always easy to find another job. Please know that reporting an employer and securing a skilled Pasadena wage fraud attorney will help ensure you get the money you need and stop your employer from future abuses.

• California does have protections in place for unauthorized immigrant workers who experience wage fraud.
