Minimum wage increases to $14.25 per hour July 1, 2019

In February, the Pasadena City Council voted to increase the local minmum wage in Pasadena. The minimum wage for those employing 26 or more people will be $14.25 per hour starting July 1, 2019. For those with 25 or fewer employees, the minimum wage will be $13.25 per hour.

In November, Pasadena voters overwhelmingly approved an increase in the local sales tax to 10.25%. That increase went into effect April 1, 2019. At that time any sales or services subject to sales tax will be required to collect the entire 10.25%.

The increase does not impact areas outside of Pasadena unless those areas also increased their local sales taxes.
