Often, local municipalities have, or have had, contract set aside programs. For example, the City of San Diego had such a program. but it had already been ordered in a 1993 case to cease its goal- based contracting program which had provided some preferential treatment in the awarding of contracts to minorities and women. Other state and local agencies with this type of program are Impacted by the CCRI, and will be reevaluating their programs in light of Proposition 209. Employers would be wise to move slowly in making any major changes while court challenges are ruled upon and California agencies reevaluate their contract requirements. Legal challenges to the CCRI _ave already been filed by the Aa.U and a ~riety of other groups. If you have an affirmative action plan or program. or are a bidder for state project or service contracts, our advice is to consult legal counsel to review your contractor status and determine whether or not the CCRI changes your obligations, or protest rights, in any way. .. Passage of Proposition 210 Increases Minimum Wage On November 5, 1996, California voters passed Proposition 210, the 'Uving Wage Initiative.' Accordingly, California law now requires that as of March .1, 1997, employers must pay employees a minimum of $5.00 an hour. By March 1. 1998, employers will be required to pay $5.75 an hour. As you know. if the federal minimum wage is different from the state minimum wage. an employer must pay whichever wage is higher. Thus. employers must likewise conform to the increases set out in the Federal Minimum Wage Act of 1996. This new law increased the federal minimum wage from $4.25 an hour to $4.75 an hour, effective October of 1996. A further increase is scheduled effective September 1. 1997, to $5.15 an hour. The following chart outlines the increases required by California employers due to the interaction of the two laws: Prior to Oct. 1996 4.25 Californill and Federal Oct. 1, 1996 4.75 Federal Mar. 1, 1997 5.00 Californill September 1, 1997 5.15 Federal March 1, 1998 5.75 Californill ( Employers may have taken note of some of the exceptions enumerated in the Federal Wage Act. For example, employers are permitted to pay a 'training wage' of $4.25 an hour to certain qualifying employees. However, the training wage exception under the state law differs from federal law, applying only to minors for a short introductory work period and providing a different rate than under federal law. Therefore, employers should carefully investigate the applicable training wage provisions and rates before utilizing these exceptions. TIu. Special EdilioD of lbe E..."Io!l_ILo.. UpJ.,.
