In January 2016, the state of New Jersey approved its own local minimum wage, which was to take effect January 1, 2017. Under the new law, local governments will be able to set minimum wages above the state level for all employees subject to their jurisdiction. The law becomes effective July 1, 2016, unless a local ordinance is adopted by the end of fiscal year 2016. New Jersey joins 14 other states, including California, New York and Rhode Island, that have adopted local living wage ordinances, according to the National Employment Law Project.

Municipal wage boards can be created by the City Council or by a referendum vote of the people. Once established, wage boards must establish the minimum, norm and maximum wages for employees in a target market. If the local government adopts a wage board ordinance, the minimum wage for all employees in the local jurisdiction must be $8.25 per hour by the end of 2015. The wage board will then have 2 years to establish the standard wage for the rest of the state. Consequences for employers who fail to pay the minimum wage include significant fines and possible lawsuit.

Unlike the state of New Jersey’s minimum wage, the San Mateo ordinance applies only to employees performing labor in certain local businesses subject to an annual employment census of at least 11,000 employees. The City of San Mateo will be eligible to increase employees wages to $15 an hour on Jan. 1, 2018, if an annual employment census is completed by Aug. 31, 2017.

The San Mateo wages board will begin by setting a starting wage of $11.25, to increase by $1 per year until reaching $15 in 2018. It will increase incrementally every year thereafter, or by 1 percent if the prevailing wage rate rises more than that amount. d2c66b5586
