Thousand Oaks does not impose a hotel-specific living wage. Hotel workers are paid under the California statewide minimum wage of $16.50 per hour, which is annually indexed for inflation under SB 3.
Unlike Los Angeles, where large hotels must pay a living wage exceeding $20 per hour, Thousand Oaks has no industry-targeted wage ordinance. The Council has not adopted hotel living-wage rules, citing the city's small hotel inventory and reliance on statewide labor standards. All hotel employees in Thousand Oaks are entitled to the California minimum wage of $16.50 per hour (2025-26), which adjusts annually for CPI under Labor Code §1182.12. Tipped employees receive the full minimum wage; California does not allow a tip credit. Overtime, meal periods, and rest breaks follow IWC Wage Order 5.
No municipal hotel-wage violations exist. Underpayment claims proceed through the California Labor Commissioner under the statewide minimum wage law.
