In West Hollywood, CA, they passed a law in 2021 that mandated increases in the minimum wage tied to the rate of inflation. Now, the city sandwiched between Beverly Hills and Los Angeles has the highest minimum wage in the nation: $19.08 per hour.
California's state minimum wage is $15.50, the third-highest in the nation, but more than two dozen California cities have higher minimum wages than the state, according to think tank Economic Policy Institute. In San Francisco, the minimum wage is $18.07; in Los Angeles, it's $16.78.
As a result of the 2021 ordinance, West Hollywood's minimum wage was raised several times in the past two years. These mandated increases were accompanied by a City Council mandate that all full-time employees receive at least 96 hours a year of paid time off for sick leave and 80 hours they can take off without pay.
