The City Council approved the current Permanent and Temporary Part-time Employee Hourly Salary Schedules on June 23, 2020 (Reso. No. 2020-104, Ex. G, H). Effective January 1, 2020, the minimum wage in California will increase from $13.00 per hour to $14.00 per hour. Absent an adjustment, there are classifications on the Permanent and Temporary Part-time Employee Hourly Salary Schedules that will be below the new minimum wage, including Office Assistant I and Program Assistant I (Salary Range 5, Step 1, wage of $13.00 per hour). In order to comply with the new minimum wage rate, it is recommended the Range 5, Step 1 wage move from $13.00 per hour to $14.00 per hour. In addition, due to compaction, it is recommended Salary Ranges 7-12 are also adjusted, as indicated below:
