EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Effective January 1, 2026, the State of California is increasing minimum wage from $16.50 to $16.90 hourly. To maintain compliance with the California State law, it is required to increase the minimum starting salary by 40 cents ($0.40) for all affected classifications identified in Exhibit 8, Unit 8, Non-Represented.
