OFFICIAL NOTICE
California Minimum Wage MW-2001
Minimum Wage - Every employer shall pay to each
employee wages not less than the following:
SUMMARY OF ACTIONS:
TAKE NOTICE that on October 23, 2000, the Industrial Welfare
Commission (IWC), having proceeded according to its authority
in the Labor Code and Constitution of California, Article
14, § 1, amended Sections 1,2,3, and 5 of the General
Minimum Wage Order, MW-98. Section 4, Separability, has not
been changed. The IWC adopted increases to the minimum wage
and to meals and lodging credits in this general minimum wage
order and in all of the IWC’s industry and occupation
orders. The IWC also repealed and/or amended the following
non-statutory full and partial exemptions from the minimum
wage for certain employees that are contained in this order
as well as in its industry and
occupation orders: student nurses, professional actors, full-time
carnival ride operators, employees of the State or local governments
and any political subdivision thereof, personal attendants
in private homes except for persons under the age of eighteen
who are employee as baby sitters for a minor child of the
employer in the employer’s home, and minors paid not
less than 85% of the minimum wage rounded to the nearest nickel.
The present partial exemption for learners was amended to
include minors. The IWC took these actions after holding investigative
public hearings as required by Labor Code § 1178, considered
the report of the Wage Board on the minimum wage selected
pursuant to Labor Code § 1178.5, and subsequently holding
public hearings according to the requirements of Labor Code
§ 1181.
This summary must be made available to employees in accordance
with the IWC’s wage orders.
