is the $0.15 wage increase in San Jose California mandatory? I am getting only $ 10.00 an hour instead of $ 10.15 since January 1, 2014. And if mandatory can I collect the difference if I asked my employer? Please clarify.

Hello,
The Minimum Wage Ordinance was passed by City of San José voters on November 6, 2012. It required employers to pay their employees a minimum wage of $10.00 per hour for work performed within the City of San José and required the minimum wage to increase annually by the cost of living, if any, beginning on January 1, 2014. Effective January 1, 2014 the San Jose minimum wage rate did increase to $10.15 per hour.
Beginning January 1, 2014, employers who are subject to the San Jose Business License Tax or who
maintain a facility in San Jose must pay to each employee who performs at least two (2) hours of work
per week in San Jose wages of not less than $10.15 per hour.
The minimum wage requirement set forth in the San Jose Minimum Wage Ordinance applies to adult
and minor employees who work two (2) or more hours per week (tips not included).
Each year, the City will adjust the minimum wage based on the US Department of Labor’s Regional Consumer Price Index.
Check with your employer to ensure (1) the employer is subject to the San Jose Minimum Wage and (2) that you the employee are working the specified minimum hours, etc, as indicated above.
