LA County Code Title 8.100 sets a minimum wage for unincorporated areas that mirrors the LA City schedule. Adopted by Ordinance 2015-0030, the rate adjusts each July with CPI and applies to all employers in unincorporated zones.
Title 8.100 of the LA County Code, enacted via Ordinance 2015-0030, requires employers with workers performing at least two hours per week in unincorporated LA County to pay the county minimum wage. The county rate tracks LA City and reached $17.27 per hour in July 2024, indexed annually to the Consumer Price Index. Coverage applies in roughly 1 million-resident unincorporated communities like East LA, Marina del Rey, Altadena, and Florence-Graham. Incorporated cities (Long Beach, Pasadena, West Hollywood) set their own rates. The Department of Consumer and Business Affairs Wage Enforcement Program investigates complaints and issues citations.
Civil penalties up to $500 per employee per day, restitution of unpaid wages, and liquidated damages. Retaliation triggers a separate $1,000 per-violation fine. DCBA may suspend county business registrations of repeat violators under Title 8.100.
