San Diego Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave Ordinance Effective July 11: Employers Need to Act Quickl

On July 11, the City Council approved certification of the results from the June 7 election that passed the original Ordinance, which means the original Ordinance is effective immediately (i.e., July 11, 2016). To clarify, only the terms of the original Ordinance are effective as of July 11. The terms of the implemented Ordinance, which are now finalized and being considered by the City Council, will be effective in mid-September. Click here to read the full article.
