Effective January 1, 2008, the minimum wage in California is $8.00 per hour. It will increase to $9.00 per hour effective July 1, 2014, and to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016. For sheepherders, however, effective July 1, 2002, the minimum wage was set at $1,200.00 per month.
Basics. Starting in 2008 and continuing into 2011, California's minimum wage is $8 an hour. Assuming a 40-hour workweek, which is standard, your weekly gross wages would be $320 and your yearly wages would be $16,640. Obviously those figures could change.
