San Mateo County Minimum Wage Ordinance

San Mateo County

HRCalifornia

Effective April 1, 2023, the county of San Mateo (the county) enacted a minimum wage ordinance (MWO) that requires employers who maintain a facility in the unincorporated areas of San Mateo County to pay any employee who works at least two hours in one calendar week within the county the local minimum wage rate (the San Mateo County minimum wage). This MWO does not apply in the city of San Mateo, which has its own MWO.
