“Businesses that pay less than 800 hours of employee wages over a two-week period will be exempt from the rules but must still pay the state minimum wage. Richmond businesses that ‘derive more than 50 percent of their income from transactions where the point of sale is outside the city’ will be forced to pay an ‘intermediate wage,’ defined as halfway between the city’s minimum wage and the state minimum wage. Seattle recently raised its minimum wage to $15 by 2017, which would be the nation’s highest. San Francisco’s $10.74 minimum wage is currently the state’s highest. The new law will phase in the minimum wage hike over several years, increasing to $13 in 2018.”
