Minimum Wage

Effective July 1, 2020, Santa Rosa implemented a $15/hour minimum wage ordinance in advance of the state minimum wage timeline. Per that ordinance, and reflecting the annual Bay Area CPI-W adjustment, starting January 1, 2023, the new minimum wage rate will be $17.06 for all businesses regardless of size.
