Effective January 1, 2011, the Minimum Wage will increase from $9.79/hour to $9.92/hour.

Pursuant to Chapter 12R of the San Francisco Administrative Code, employers must provide employees who work within the geographic boundaries of the City and County of San Francisco no less than the Minimum Wage as set forth in the code. This applies to all employers, regardless of where they are located, who have employees who work in San Francisco. The code provides for automatic adjustments to the Minimum Wage by an amount corresponding to the prior year's increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners and clerical workers for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA metropolitan statistical area.
