Does the Los Angeles County minimum wage ordinance apply to me?

The minimum wage for Los Angeles County is based upon an ordinance adopted by the county supervisors that is only applicable to work completed in the “unincorporated areas” of the county. “Unincorporated areas” are the areas in the county that fall outside of the city limits of the various cities within the county. The minimum wage ordinance requires that employers pay the county minimum wage to any employee who works at least two hours in a particular week within the unincorporated areas of the county. It does not apply to work completed in incorporated cities as well as the city of Los Angeles (which has its own minimum wage ordinance).
