Just days before the new minimum wage law for fast food chains was supposed to take effect, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 610 (“AB 610”), which amends Labor Code § 1474 et seq. (aka the FAST Act) to create new exceptions to the minimum wage law for national fast food chains. This amendment will take effect immediately as an urgent statute.

It will be interesting to watch how California's minimum wage law impacts the broader restaurant industry. There's already been one brand to feel the impact, closing the doors on their CA based locations. We'll be keeping an eye on this, how are you going to the same? How many more brands will leave California? Who can withstand passing the wage increase onto their customers without sacrificing market share? Will C-Store's grab these consumers with their more affordable options? Measuring the Impact of California’s Minimum Wage Increase on Restaurants

Of course. It’s logical

Beginning April 1, 2024, fast food workers in California must be paid $20.00 per hour under AB 1228, which was passed last year. The initial law only exempted certain bakeries and restaurants in grocery establishments. Last week, the California legislature passed and Governor Newsom signed into law AB 610. This law amended the fast food worker minimum wage law and expanded the exemptions for certain fast food restaurants.

A comment on California’s fast food $20 minimum wage law—it does NOT apply to ALL fast food workers. It only applies to “fast-food chains with 60 or more locations nationwide.” Your 50 location fast food chain, or your single location fast food outlet, can legally pay its workers $16. This is a common theme in many “living wage” laws: “we commit to a LIVING wage…unless you work for a small business, in which case we don’t care about your unlivable wages.” https://lnkd.in/gDsEjKZf Oh…and some California learners, disabled people, and nonprofit employees don’t even get $16. No living wage for THEM. https://lnkd.in/guaJBscz
